Other enrolment details for our school
A Residential address check must be provided with every application for local enrolment. Evidence must include items listed on the 100-point residential address check information document.
In circumstances where parents are divorced or separated, the school will rely on Family Court Orders to determine the child's place of residence.
In some cases the Principal may also require:
- A Statutory Declaration that includes the wording: The following address, (insert address) is the primary place of residence for (insert child's full name)
Where applicants for enrolment as local students fail to provide the required evidence of their permanent residence, they will be treated as non-local students for the purpose of enrolment.
