Your child has a right to enrol at their local school. Your child’s local school is determined on the basis of their permanent residential address. Visit Find my School to locate your child’s local school. The enrolling in a school page can also help you to confirm your child’s address for enrolment.

If you wish apply to enrol your child in a school that is not their local school, you should read about school zones and how applications are processed and prioritised using the Department of Education’s Placement Policy found on the enrolling in a school page.
