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.

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.

Changes to the Enrolment Policy - Information for Parents

Across the state, many communities are changing. Some are growing at rates never seen before. Some schools that used to be able to accept out-of-area enrolments, no longer have the room to do so.

The revised policy is designed to support schools to manage all enrolment applications, encourage greater consistency in decision-making and make sure the enrolment choices are clear for parents.

Persons seeking to enrol a child in a NSW Government school may be required to show documents to establish the child’s address. Please see the document below outlining information regarding this.

Residential address check for the enrolment of students in NSW Government schools

 

The Department of Education has updated its enrolment policy for all NSW public schools. A parent fact sheet outlining the changes is available for your information.  

Every child is entitled to be enrolled at the government school that is designated for the intake area within which the child’s home is situated and that the child is eligible to attend. Parents/Carers may apply for non-local enrolment of their child. A separate application form is required. A non-local enrolment is a student whose permanent residence is beyond the designated local enrolment area. 

Parents / carers who wish to make an application for non-local enrolment need to complete the online enrolement via the link above.
