Enrolments

Our principal will:

• accept all applications for enrolment using the Application for Enrolment Form and enrol
  eligible children using the Enrolment Form.
• for local-intake schools, assess applications for enrolment for the commencement of the
  following year from outside the local-intake area and for Kindergarten after the enrolment
  closing date (the first Friday of Term 3 each year);
• plan ahead for sufficient accommodation to be available to enrol eligible children;
• publish accurate information about enrolment specific to the school for parents;
  prioritise the enrolment of children according to the criteria set out in the School Education
  Regulations 2000;
• notify parents in writing of the outcome of enrolment decisions at the earliest opportunity if
  applying for the current year and within three weeks of the closing date for applications if
  enrolling for the following year;
• collect and record a child’s immunisation status at the time of enrolment;
• collect and record a child’s Medicare number, if it is available, at the time of enrolment;
• determine the year level placement of a child, in consultation with the parents and reflecting the emphasis on age appropriate placements; and
