Bay & Basin Learning Community Non-Local Primary School Placement
Who can apply? - School age children living in NSW who are Australian or New Zealand citizens or Australian permanent residents.
Will the school have a place for my child? - Our school has reached its enrolment cap. As per the department’s policy, we are not considering out-of-area applications unless exceptional circumstances apply.
Our enrolment cap has been set to support student wellbeing, quality education and avoid overcrowding.
Information for Parents
Parents may apply for the non-local enrolment of their child in addition to their designated local school. A separate application form is required for each school.
Priority for enrolment will be given to students entering Kindergarten. Places may also be available in Years 1-6. Any school that is over its buffer and CAP will not be able to accept out of area enrolments unless approved by the in-area principal and the Director Educational Leadership. The reasons for accepting an out-of-area enrolment for all schools will need to meet the criteria outlined below and based on compelling and authentic circumstances (supporting documentation will assist your application)
Reasons for choosing non-local placements in a Bay & Basin Learning Community Primary School may include:
o siblings already enrolled at the school
o compassionate circumstances “e.g.” special needs, medical, psychological, wellbeing, staff, returning students
o proximity and access to the school
o safety and supervision of students before and after school
o structure and organisation of the school “e.g.” Aboriginal Education Officer, Defence Support Transition Aide, size of school
o support class siblings
o ACT students – Jervis Bay / Wreck Bay
Priority will be given to siblings of children already enrolled. Other reasons will be considered in line with the NSW Department of Education criteria.
The number of students a school may enrol is set centrally. This means that some schools may not have room left for non-local enrolments after accommodating local children.
Parents can appeal against decisions regarding non-local placement to the Director, Educational Leadership, South Coast Network at Warilla Office on 4267 6100.
Non-Local Enrolment applications will only be considered if the applicant confirms that they have first visited the local “in area” school.
After completing your “in area” school visit, please complete an online enrolment with your non- local school: https://ehub.enrol.education.nsw.gov.au/
The non-local school will then contact you to organise a meeting with their Principal.
We will not consider the following:
Student ability, performance or achievement, as described in the department's enrolment policy.
For specialist settings only: Student ability, performance or achievement in the school’s specialisation may be considered.
When are applications assessed? - We will assess your application within 10 school days and contact you. School holiday periods may increase assessment times.
Information exchange between schools - Schools exchange information about online and paper out-of-area applications to assist in planning and student care.
We may share your child's application with:
- the NSW Government school they currently attend
- your local NSW Government school.
Please note that the submission of an Out of Area application does not guarantee placement at our school.
