          <by role="member" id="4622">The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:32):</by>  The way that enrolment works at present in our schools—and the vast majority of our secondary schools are zoned and, increasingly, so too are our primary schools—is that a determination is made within the school about what criteria are to be applied, and then when the central process works its way through they are able to determine an orderly entrance.</text>
        <text id="201704121102501459ce4b7a90000492">Because we are dealing with new schools, now that the new principal has been appointed, which I obviously welcome, when he starts his position early in term 2 he will be working through the exact mechanics of the unusual circumstance of having two schools with a shared larger zone. We should be in a position to answer that question in more detail after that.</text>
