Enrolment Enquiry

Year 6 to Year 7 Enrolment

All applications for Year 7 enrolment at a government secondary school are subject to the following principles:

• • To provide each child with the right to a place in the designated neighbourhood school
  • Wherever practical, to provide parents/guardians with the opportunity to enrol their child at the same school as that being attended by an older sibling who resides at the same permanent address
  • To contain enrolments in each secondary school within the limits of resources as determined by the Regional Director

All requests from parents living outside the specific designated neighbourhood zone will be considered by the principal at each government secondary school. It must be noted, however, that all placements are subject to the availability of accommodation at a particular school.

Where there is insufficient accommodation at a school for all students who seek entry, students are enrolled in the following priority order:

1. 1. Students for whom the school is the designated neighbourhood government school
   2. Students with a sibling at the same permanent residence who are attending the school at the same time
   3. Where the regional director has restricted the enrolment, students who reside nearest the school
   4. Students seeking enrolment on specific curriculum grounds
   5. All of the students in order of closeness of their home to school
   6. In exceptional circumstances, compassionate grounds
