There has been a decline in the waiting lists for admission to many private schools in Perth, according to some principals. South Perth’s Wesley College is among the private schools that have reported lower demand for places, particularly in its junior school. College head David Gee suggests that factors such as the downturn in the mining sector and the uncertain economic outlook may have contributed to falling demand

The Australian employment market is changing. In the three months to August 2014, for the first time there were more people employed in education and training than manufacturing. In Western Australia (WA), education surpassed manufacturing nearly three years before. In WA, there were fewer than 96,000 people directly employed in mining, the lowest number since mid-2011. There were 152,000 retail workers, 150,000 healthcare workers and over 34,000 in the real estate sector
