Once you have made the decision to enrol your child at Shalvey Campus you need to complete the Application to enrol in a NSW Government school (pdf 142kb) form and submit it to the school officel. Forms are available from school, your local regional Department of Education office or online at www.schools.nsw.edu.au.
For enrolment you will require the following:
- Proof of identity (e.g. birth certificate)
- An immunisation certificate (for primary school enrolments)
- Proof of address for your child
Your application will then be considered by our school principal to ensure that your child's needs have been identified and assessed. In most cases this process will be completed very quickly. In some circumstances, it will be necessary for our school to gather further information prior to finalising our decision. You can assist by ensuring the information on your application form is accurate and complete.
You will be notified by the school of the result of your application. Please do not purchase items such as uniforms until you receive confirmation of enrolment. If your application is accepted, the information you have provided will be used by the our school to formally enrol your child.
Out-of-area applications
When it comes to considering out-of-area applications, school principals are required to follow departmental policy. This is because we must ensure that all eligible in-area students wishing to attend their local school are able to do so.Depending on resources, our school may be able to accept additional students from outside our enrolment area at the discretion of the school's enrolment panel. Applications for non-local (out-of-area) enrolments are considered using a range of criteria, including the availability of appropriate staff and classroom accommodation. Contact our school to find out more about their out-of-area selection criteria.
Enrolling a child with special needs
As a parent or carer of a child with a learning difficulty or disability, you have access to a team of people from your local regional office who will assist you with your child's enrolment. Depending on your location and your child's needs, you may have access to regular classes in regular schools, support classes in regular schools or a school with specific support services. Before enrolling your child, you will be asked to contact the student support team at your local Department of Education regional office.
