Corpus Christi College Bateman is one of four new Catholic secondary colleges that are felt to be an urgent necessity in the metropolitan area and which are going to call on considerable capital expenditure to make them a reality. The Bateman college has been in the planning for five years from the time when negotiations opened with the University of WA to secure a site where the new Murdoch Drive is taking shape on the former Applecross pine plantation. The 13 hectare site whose total cost was $750,000 included substantial related costs is considered large enough to make the complex an integration of a four stream high school, a two stream primary school that is hoped to start in 1984, and eventually a parish church and presbytery.

A scathing attack on critics of government aid to independent schools was made last weekend by the Archbishop of Perth, Sir Launcelot Goody. "I deprecate the boloney talked by leftist groups that the government is wasting money on independent schoolsArchbishop Goody said after he had blessed the new Corpus Christi College at Bateman last Sunday. "The generality of the taxpayer is getting these facilities at half price" he said, pointing out it had cost $2 million to get the college to its present stage, the Commonwealth government providing $ 960,000 of that amount. "The cost to the taxpayer — and that includes Catholics who also are taxpayers — is but 50 per cent of its present value" Archbishop Goody said.

Archbishop Goody called the establishment of Corpus Christi College on the sand and scrub at Bateman a "formidable" experience. Corpus Christi College was officially opened by Mr John Dawkins, Minister for Finance, who referred to the nearly SI million contributed by the Commonwealth government. But he added: "However great the Commonwealth contribution, it pales into insignificance with the personal effort put into a school like this." •Continued page 16
