Local Intake Schools

The schools around our area are all local intake schools. Those living outside our area will be considered, but we may not be able to accommodate them.

Our Local intake map can be viewed on Schools Online. Please read the streets that are included and excluded. i.e we do not take any students from Wordsworth Avenue.

Department Regulations

For a school with a local intake area, the principal will:

• assess all enrolment applications;

• enrol eligible students who reside within the local intake area;

• assess enrolment applications from outside the local intake area after the application closing date only if there are available places within available classrooms
