Non-Local (Out of Zone) Enrolment Policy

Thank you for applying to enrol your child at one of our great public schools!

 

The 15 public schools across Cessnock work together co-operatively to deliver quality academic and wellbeing outcomes for over 4000 students in this community. Together, we are known as the Cessnock Community of Great Public Schools (CCGPS).

 

The CCGPS are united in the enrolment of all students within the Cessnock area that is consistent with Department of Education policy and takes into account the well-being of the student.

 

Accordingly, we encourage all families to seek enrolment for their child at their local school. For more information about your local school, go to the

following link:       

https://online.det.nsw.edu.au/schoolfind/locator/  or contact your school directly to  confirm designated intake zones.

 

Parents may apply for the non-local enrolment of their child in another school of their choice in addition to their designated local school only if spaces are available.

 

Availability of non-local places.

 

The number of students a school may enrol is limited by the availability of classroom

space. This means that some schools may not have room left for non-local enrolments after accommodating local children, while maintaining a buffer to allow for local placements throughout the year. To avoid disappointment, parents should check that there are places available in a school before applying.
