Current education support centre capacity is based on the typical range of class sizes from 8 to 10 students and the number of rooms at the centre. Capacity is expressed as a range because class sizes will vary from year to year depending on the needs of individual students. The principal may determine that smaller or larger classes are required.
When required, access to classroom capacity at the collocated school or additional transportable accommodation is used to increase education support centre capacity.
