Please read the Enrolment Management Plan for information about 'out of catchment' enrolments before proceeding with an 'out of catchment' application.
Step 2 – Policies to read and understand
Please read our important policies found on the right-hand side of this page prior to the enrolment interview. You will need to know about the policies, standards and expectations of our school community before you enrol your children.
Step 3 – Enrolment interview
An enrolment interview is a mandatory part of the enrolment process as it allows staff to become familiar with the aspirations and needs of individual students. It also ensures each student has a clear understanding of school expectations and gives families the opportunity to ask specific questions relevant to their student.
For senior students, enrolment interviews are a minimum of 30 minutes to allow enough time for career pathway and subject discussion. To investigate 'alternative to school' pathways, contact the office to arrange an appointment with a Guidance Officer or careers advisor.
