Enrolment at Parnell District School is governed by an enrolment scheme to protect the school from overcrowding.

We are NOT currently accepting OUT-OF-ZONE enrolments. 

Students who live inside the home zone of Parnell School (described below, and shown on the map) have a legal right to enrol at the school.   

There are strict criteria around what “living in the home zone” means. This is based on whether an address provided by a student is their usual place of residence. Enrolments can be cancelled where it is found that an incorrect address was provided to secure enrolment at the school. 

A usual place of residence means: 

  • living with their parents/caregivers in a house located in the home zone that is owned, leased or rented by the parents or caregivers 
  • living with a family member or another responsible adult who has primary duty of care for the student 

Proof of residence within the home zone will be required.

OUT OF ZONE ENROLMENTS:

Each year the board will determine the number of places which are likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the Home Zone. The board will publish this information by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulated in the area served by the school.  

The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.  

Applications for enrolment will be processed in the following order of priority: 

First Priority: this priority category is not applicable at this school because the school does not run a special programme approved by the Secretary.  

Second Priority: must be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.  

Third Priority: must be given to applicants who are siblings of former students. 

Fourth Priority: must be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school. 

Fifth Priority: must be given to any applicant who is either a child of an employee of the board of the school or a child of a member of the board of the school.  

Sixth Priority: must be given to all other applicants. 

If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth, or fifth priority groups than there are places available, selection within the priority group will be by a ballot conducted in accordance with instructions issued by the Secretary for Education under Section 11G(1) of the Education Act 1989. Parents will be informed of the date of any ballot by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. 

Applicants seeking second or third priority status may be required to give proof of a sibling relationship. 

OUT OF ZONE ENROLMENT 2023: 

For 2023, by 1 September 2022 the board will have determined: 

  • how many out-of-zone places there will be –  either in total, or by year level 
  • the date of ballot 
  • application deadlines 

Once the above is determined, the website will be updated with this information including an out of zone application form.
