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.
