Summary of the interview-
According to the responses found in the interview, everything seems to be
disappointing because the environment in the Beganup is going to lose its heritage of
education. The community the area has developed a tremendous support and collaboration.
According to Janice, people in the area have developed the environment for the progress of
education. Children of today’s and coming generation is most likely to lose the opportunity
for gaining education in a proper way. This is because, in today’s highly competitive society,
it is so difficult for people to gain education from distant areas. In this context, Handa (2002)
commented that closure drags on into the fact which has become a significant concern of the
scholars today. It has been identified that Department of Education is in general fully funded
with the initiative of several other agencies in the process. On the other side, Allan (2009)
mentioned that institutions that depend on grating funding to perform their mission like the
research universities are not only dealing with the urgent or immediate influence of the
shutdown but they are already observing much longer terms consequences. Nonetheless,
when it comes to the development of financial institutions like school, it is certain that
community must have to be aware of the fact that engagement of the society must be
considered. This fact is also found in the interview between Janice and Martine, where Janice
has mentioned that “you have lived in a country town and you know what it is like. We are
farmers we are probably a bit slow to react but when we do we come out fighting”/
“We feel very strongly about this so we are going to organise community drops,
leaflets and we are also in a marginal electorate so everyone votes here and they are going
to know about this in Canberra as well as back in Perth”.
The above two statement help to observe the fact that the community in Perth is quite
enthusiastic about the initiatives of the closure of the school in the area. The event makes it

clear that a hardly member in the community is agreeing to the same as every individual in
the society holds an opposite view about the closure of the school. On the contrary, the idea
of Janice about the expansion and quality of education is quite justified and appropriate. This
means it is not always good to state that a bigger institute could generate better opportunity
for school kids to learn. However, this is no exception in a small town school and all that
need is, a state of consistency into the effort and stiff. Moreover, Janice tried to prove the fact
that in a wider community, it is largely difficult for individual or the community to apply the
concept of middle schooling but it can be done where people have already come far to 7 to 10
years. This means such initiative will not go wasted. This is certain that middle schooling can
be done when the community or the area is equipped with the concept of class teaching and
tuitions all grades.
“We have got from Year 7 to Year 10 in together and we are able to, I mean it had all the
research in that article of why Middle schooling is really a good thing and I think it really
pertains to our school here”
It is necessary for parents or the family to grow and prepare their kids in the middle school as
it is mostly the time when the kids are mentally prepared to deal with or adapt to the culture
of high school.
In this study, Qi (2016) mentioned the fact that middle school is the time of major
transition for several students. This happens because this is the time where the kids tend to
prepare themselves for their highs school; and they go beyond. So they mostly give up
nurturing environment of the elementary school for the realities of middle school. In order to
support this statement, Spilt, Koomen and Thijs (2011) mentioned that the parent of a middle
school goer must be concerned about child’s grade point average or they must consider they

should review their child’s grades. In the interview, it was found that the community in Perth
is seeking to provide tutorials for the middle schooling.
“It had all the research in that article of why Middle schooling is really a good thing and I
think it really pertains to our school here. I mean it is really close, they do lots of peer
tutoring across the grades”
On the contrary, Giblin, Collins and Button (2014) mentioned that middle school
could be often challenging for both parents and school kids. This is because the author of this
article has stated that one does need to consider the fact that middle school years are often
years of adjustment as well as challenging. This means that bullying peaks in all middle
school and students should go through the change of puberty; thereby, they are more often
confronted with a multitude of issues with the inclusion of self-awareness. In the interview,
Janice has stated the fact that school in their area is quite convenient and the kids are always
in front of their eyes and they do not get lost. Moreover, as per the views and opinions given
by Janice, some of the middle school students must have to take high school courses during
their time period of middle and this is often a great imitative for the students who are mostly
ready to cover the materials required in the high school area but it could be a bit of stretch for
others. And, probably this concern has hit the people of who have taken the decision of
closing the school instead of stepping ahead.
Moreover, in the development of school education, it is highly important for the
organization to deal with the state of happiness that students to through when gaining
education. In this context, Cohen (2012) mentioned that for the child going well in the middle
school is a top most requirement and the peers and their friends often should count on the
child as lucky and they should refrain from keeping too much pressure on him to receive
good grades. On the other side, the students who want to do well, they might not be needing a

whole lot of parental stress. However, this concept is opposite to the interview findings where
Janice’s view is about developing a middle school where the children could do well instead
of getting into a wider community. Woessmann (2016) mentioned that in order to gain a good
education, presents should be conscious about the progress of their children’s education.
When the children are in the pressure of gaining a new education, it is certain that parental
guidance is highly required. This could happen because it is true that some kids or children
might not be able to gain the necessary practice of the middle school education.
Furthermore, the interview analysis helps to observe the fact that Janice has
mentioned about the need of Distance Education; thus, it is worth mentioning that this is
more of a great initiative because distance education provide significant business
opportunities to students who were once deprived from education or those who cannot afford
education or the people. Chudgar (2012) mentioned and provided the statistics that almost
34% of the individuals had to once leave education for unexpected reasons and in such
context, the opportunity or facility of distance education is a great imitative for enhancing the
quality and level of education in the community. The interview with Janice reveals the
following the statement,
“That's right, and we have also got really good tie ins to TAFE so there is courses run that
the kids can do here. We are in close monitoring with their tutors as well so if the teachers
don't have time or are stretched, also parents come in and help with those things”
So on the basis of the above statement, it can be added that community is much intact to
improve the quality of education.
As put forward by Moore, Dickson-Deane, and Galyen (2011) distance learning is
resourceful substitute of conventional learning and it is completely resourceful and most
importantly unlike contemporary education setting, distance learning tends to offer students

the freedom of continuing higher education in spite of their age, regional locations, etc. So, at
the time of distinguishing where the whole community is shifting to or adapting to digital
environment. Consequently, the education sector is the majority of flourished as the
consequence of such progression. A contradictory statement found in the interview analysis –
older kids must be mixed with the children, so that they could look after them and a give and
take environment can be developed and according to Janice, it is good to see small kid
playing with the older kid. Janice stated the fact that this initiative has been applied to deal
with the issue of age grouping. However, this issue was also found in an article where the
authors have stated that creating differences in ages could prevent the scope of learning or
exchange of learning.
Another significant issue found from the interview which needs urgent attention is the
bullying nature in High School. A large percentage of the students have got into the practice
of taking drugs and bullying juniors and moreover, there is a significant need of a suitable
school bus where kids will not get bullied by others. Due to these reasons, people in Beganup
are more concerned about the development of their existing school. It has been identified that
some of the local parents tried to shift their children to some local schools and they send them
by bus to Beganup. Moreover, the environment near the school is a significant concern where
people could live and they remain naturally connected.
On the other side, tofi, and Farrington (2012) mentioned that the fact contrary to
conventional views of bullying just like the mere child play, studies show that bullying has a
strong short-term and long-term adverse consequence for the targeted children and others
observe bullying. Moreover, it can be added that children who are bullied are more likely to
suffer from a large variety of psychological disorder with the inclusion of the depression and
anxiety.
