Other enrolment information
If you do not live in our local area
Our school has limited places available for non-local enrolments (for students who live outside our intake area). If we receive more non-local enrolment applications than there are places available, we will consider and prioritise them against the NSW Department of Education’s non-local enrolment criteria.
We will prioritise non-local enrolments:
-
to ensure that students with additional needs have access to high-quality public education, students with learning and wellbeing needs requiring reasonable adjustments and/or additional educational support, including cultural considerations, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural, family and kinship connections and relationships, disability, developmental age, trauma, child protection concerns, medical and individual needs and circumstances
-
for sibling currently attending the school
If your non-local application is accepted, please note we cannot guarantee there will be non-local availability in future years.
