Adelaide CBD High Schools Enrolment

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:34): In relation to those principles, which the minister describes as 'common-sense', one of the criteria in the announcement today is that preference might go to children of old scholars of presumably Adelaide High School at this stage. Are there any other DECD schools that have that criterion in their capacity management plan, and who suggested that it be part of the criteria?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:35): I would have to check each of the capacity management plans, but I believe family links to the school are not unique for Adelaide High School and, of course, there will develop family links with the new school before too long. Once the criteria are refined and an order of waiting is determined, then we can have these discussions in far more detail.

Mr GARDNER: A final supplementary, sir?

The SPEAKER: It's the fourth supplementary.
