Coolbinia is a highly preferred school. We have waiting lists to get into the school. We have vacancies in year 3 and 5.

Coolbinia recognises the entitlement of parents to enrol their children into a school of their choice. The following processes outlined in the Education Act and the Department of Education Regulations are used in allocating a place for students.
