Capacity Management Plan

A capacity management plan is one of the strategies the Department for Education uses to support government schools that have more demand for enrolment than available places.

The capacity management plan helps a school return to or maintain sustainable enrolment numbers, which helps children attend their local school.

The department has developed these plans based on need, not on the location of the school. Capacity management plans are not unique to South Australia. Click on the link below to view the Riverbanks College B-12 capacity plan.
