Out-of-catchment enrolments
An application from any other person, not meeting the catchment criteria, is an out-of-catchment application. Enrolment of students from outside the local catchment area is restricted to ensure that enrolments do not exceed the student enrolment capacity. This school can only enrol out-of-catchment students:
- if there is sufficient spare capacity after reserving places for students who move into the catchment during the year
- after taking into account the school's projected future enrolment growth.
Out-of-catchment students applying for enrolment at the school are placed on a waiting list, assessed in order of receipt. These applications will remain current only for the school year in which they are applying to enrol.
Documents required for enrolment are the same as for in-catchment enrolments.
The Principal is responsible for all decisions on enrolments.
