Assuming 31.42 per cent of that age bracket enrol at BMC in 2041, she said, the school would have 2025 enrolments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"01BodyCopy\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u201cIn its current form, the school could not cope with a doubling of its population; and I do not think that slapping more portables down will be the answer,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"01BodyCopy\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The Moorabool News asked the Department of Education what BMC\u2019s current capacity is, and if there were any plans to expand the school, or establish another public secondary school in Bacchus Marsh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"01BodyCopy\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u201cEvery student is guaranteed the right to attend their local school.
