House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Adelaide CBD High Schools Enrolment Adelaide CBD High Schools Enrolment Mr GARDNER House of Assembly Morialta Adelaide CBD High Schools Enrolment Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:30): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Will families living within the new shared zone for the two city high schools be the ones who decide which of those two schools their child goes to, or will the department allocate students based on specific enrolment criteria that are now being developed? The Hon. S.E. CLOSE House of Assembly Port Adelaide Minister for Education and Child Development Minister for Higher Education and Skills Adelaide CBD High Schools Enrolment The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:31): Families will nominate which of the schools they would prefer their child to attend. Only in the event that one school is not full and one is over capacity will enrolment criteria be used in order to determine an order. It is unknowable at this stage whether that will be necessary never, often or rarely. However, the criteria will be based on common sense. If a child already has a sibling at that school, then they ought to be first in the queue for the convenience of the family. It will be only in the event that there is an imbalance in the number of places available versus the number of children applying.
