capacity;

applications received for the 2021 school year; and

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(a) Language
development centres are typically co-located with other primary schools. For
each language development centre, enrolments are influenced by available
classroom accommodation at each school site. This may vary from year to year.
(b)–(c) The next part of the answer is in tabular
form, and I seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard .
