For enrolment forms to be accepted you must complete all forms within the package and supply a copy of the student's original birth certificate if born in Australia or if born outside Australia a passport, visa or citizenship papers.
Enrolment Management Plan
Our school has an
Enrolment Management Plan in place.
Deception Bay State
High School recognises as its prime obligation, the provision of access to
an appropriate educational service for students whose principal place of
residence is within the school's catchment area.
Because of
enrolment capacity and growth, Deception Bay State High School may be unable to
meet this obligation in the future unless action is taken to manage enrolments.
The Principal must restrict the enrolment of out-of-catchment students to
ensure in-catchment students can enrol at their local state school without
requiring additional facilities.
