Enrolling at Maroochydore State High School is an important and exciting process and we welcome all our new students.
To ensure we can accommodate local families, we operate as a catchment managed school and accept enrolments from families residing within our catchment zone. The school's catchment map can be viewed online: school's catchment area.
Out of catchment applications are considered on a case-by-case basis.

An enrolment interview allows our staff to become familiar with the aspirations and needs of individual students and gives families the opportunity to ask specific questions relevant to their student. Enrolment interviews are a minimum of 30 minutes.
Enrolment interviews are generally conducted on Thursday mornings with the Deputy Principal. Parents will also need to organise stationery, BYOd laptop, uniforms and other schooling requirements before their student begins.
