(1 - 2) The attached table [see tabled paper no.] is based on the difference between the theoretical capacity of the school and current enrolments.  The Department of Education uses the Effective Full Teaching Area (EFTA) indicator as an estimate of the number of teaching spaces available at the school.
This indicator applies to a wide variety of teaching spaces, including general classrooms, specialist rooms and gymnasiums, and is only an approximate guide to the amount of space available at the school and enrolments can be managed above this calculated capacity.
(3 - 4)
Western Australian public high schools are currently over capacity by more than 25 students
