Our school has an enrolment management plan which limits our intake of students. Please check the Enrolment Management Plan to see if you reside in catchment or are entitled to enrol as in-catchment. The following website will help determine if your residential address is in our
catchment area.
Students who live in our catchment area are guaranteed of a position.
Enrolment packs are available to be collected from the office with hard copies of all consent forms.
