Enrolment

Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.

Local enrolment area

Check your address on School Finder to see if it is within our local intake area. Most schools have designated local enrolment areas. Note: local enrolment areas are subject to change.

How to enrol

If you live in our intake area and would like to apply to enrol at our school, start by submitting an online enrolment application. Online enrolment is currently only available for Australian or New Zealand citizens and permanent residents.

If you are not able to apply online or you prefer not to, download the paper application to enrol (PDF 768.4KB) form. Please complete the form in English. A translated application to enrol may help you do this.

Online enrolment can also be used for out-of-area enrolment. Please note that out-of-area enrolment procedures are subject to the department’s enrolment policy.

Enrolment applications are finalised at the school.

Temporary visas and international students

Distance education

Distance education is an equity program for students who are geographically isolated or whose individual circumstances prevent them from regularly attending school. Students must meet one of the conditions in the Distance Education Enrolment Procedures to be eligible to access this program as a full-time student.

Information for Parents

See the attached document here to answer some of the questions you may have in relation to the new enrolment policy.

You will need to complete the 100 point residential check and bring this evidence with the application form to our school.

Non-local enrolments

Our school has increased enrolments to the point where we are exceeding our capacity to accommodate students in permanent classrooms.

The impact of this requirement is that our school can not take non-local students from 2020 (siblings excluded) unless under exceptional circumstances.

The revised Department of Education Enrolment Policy implemented on 22nd July, 2019, can be found here which includes more details on the updated enrolment processess. Please click the following links for further information about our enrolment policies.
