Enrolling at our school

​​​​​​​Enrolling your child in Yarrabilba State School:

There are four steps to enrolling your child at Yarrabilba State School.

1. Complete an enrolment application (PDF).
2. Read and understand our school policies and procedures.
   
3. Attend an enrolment interview during which you will be able to discuss your child's individual needs if required.
4. Organise school uniforms and other resource requirements before your child commences school. ​

Students will be permitted to commence at our school the day following the enrolment interview, and once uniforms and resources have been arranged.

Step 1 - Enrolment application

• Check the enrolment catchment map online through the EdMap - Catchment Maps (external link) to find your home street address. The Principal will verify that your listed residential address is within the enrolment boundary. Please read the Enrolment Management Plan (external link) for information about 'out of catchment' enrolments before proceeding with an 'out of catchment' application.
• Complete the application for enrolment (PDF) form accurately. Please complete a separate enrolment application for each child enrolling.
  
• You will need to provide certain documents for the Principal to sight before the enrolment induction. These need to be brought to your enrolment interview. Without the correct and complete documents the enrolment cannot proceed.

Please provide the following items:

• Each child's birth certificate
• Each child's passport/visa and parent's passport/visas (if born overseas)
• TWO forms of proof of residency
• One primary source – a current lease agreement (if renting), rates notice, or unconditional contract of sale (if homeowner), and
• One secondary source – a utility bill (e.g., electricity, gas) showing this same address and parent's/legal guardian's name

   

  If the Principal is not satisfied that the documentation above adequately demonstrates that the address stated is the student's principal place of residence, then the Principal may request further sources of proof of residency. Examples may include (but are not limited to):

  
  

• ​Documents demonstrating recent change of address/re-location to within the school's catchment area (e.g. proof of sale or termination of lease for the previous principal place of residence in a different catchment).

• Tax Assessment Notice (financial details are not required)

• Bank statement (showing current address details; financial details are not required)

• Driver's licence (with current address details)

• Statutory Declaration

• Mobile phone statement (with current address details)

• Electoral Roll verification letter

• Additional utility bills (e.g. water bill) or a series of bills at for the same address over a sequential period to demonstrate continued/ongoing residency

• Each child's most recent NAPLAN report (Grade 3-6 only, if coming from a school other than a Queensland State School)
• Each child's most recent student report card (if coming from a school other than a Queensland State School)
• For Prep Enrolments, please provide a copy of your child's Kindergarten transition statement​

Bring these documents to the enrolment interview with you.

Step 2 - Important policies to read and understand

Please read these important policies prior to the enrolment interview.

You will need to know about the policies, standards and expectations of our school community before you enrol your children.
