Enrolments

Edge Hill State School has an approved enrolment management plan.

The approved catchment area for Edge Hill State School is shown on the Interactive Catchment Map.

All students who reside within the local catchment area and are eligible for enrolment in the educational program offered by the school have a right to enrolment at the school. The Principal will hold places for students who relocate to within the catchment boundary throughout the school year.

Enrolment of students from outside the local catchment area will be managed to ensure that the total current and forecast enrolments do not exceed the school's current build capacity and where applicable will ensure there is an even spread of students across year levels or class groupings.

The school's enrolment management plan does not replace other departmental policy, for example safe, supportive and disciplined school environment, nor does it override subsequent determinations regarding built school capacity.

Please download and complete the Enrolment Interest Form first and return it to school. This form is available in the quick links bar​ on the right of this page. Enrolment Application and State School Consent Forms are also available here.

Enrolment criteria

There will be two types of applications: automatic entry and selected entry:

Automatic Entry

• all students enrolled at Edge Hill State School on the final day of the preceding year

Selected entry
