Enrolment

The school’s local intake area is determined by the Department of Education (DoE). In accordance with the Education Reform Act 1990, we ensure that every eligible local child will have a place at our school. Our school is proud to be a school of choice for our local families and encourages all families to enrol at their local public high school.

Enrolment applications are completed online via the school’s website. See details below.

Enrolment for Years 6-7 is completed when your child is in Year 6 via their primary school. To be enrolled as a local student, you will need to provide 100 points of evidence as per the Enrolment Policy.

For parents or carers seeking placement in the dedicated Support Unit, please contact Miranda Office as these enrolments are centrally managed by Department of Education personnel.

Year 7 Non-Local Applications

^{‘Non-Local’ enrolment applies to students residing outside of Sylvania High School’s designated intake area. These students may be considered for enrolment depending on available space in the year group, the school’s enrolment cap and local enrolment buffer.}

^{An enrolment buffer is maintained in each year group to accommodate local applicants who move into the local area during the school year. This can impact on availability of placements for non-local applicants.}

^{Where vacancies exist in any given year, the number of positions available to non-local applicants will be determined by the Enrolment Committee, based on a clear set of criteria. Decisions regarding non-local offers of placement will be made across all selection criteria.}^{No single criterion will guarantee placement.}

Enrolment Committee

The Enrolment Committee is responsible for:

developing policy in relation to applications where no vacancies exist.
consideration of non-local applications following the set criteria.
placement of non-local applicants on a waiting list.
determining who is unsuccessful in their non-local application.

Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.
