Kambrya
College is a State Secondary School bound by
an Enrolment Policy that is underpinned by a
Neighbourhood Boundary. For families seeking
enrolment into the College the following
guiding principles underpin the policy and
the College's
enrolment process
and requirements. From time to time we are
in a position to accept enrolments for
students who reside outside of the
Neighbourhood Boundary; however the College
cannot guarantee placements for these
students (Please see Out of Zone Enrolments
below). Enrolment into The College’s
High Achievers’ Program is by
application.
The rationale behind the
Enrolment Policy is:
-
To provide each child with the
right to a place in a designated
neighbourhood school
-
Wherever practical to provide
parents with the opportunity to
enrol their child in the same
school as that being attended by
an older brother or sister who
resides permanently at the same
address
To contain enrolments in the College within the
limits of available resources
Enrolment Criteria
Where an
enrolment is being considered the following
criteria apply:
-
An
enrolling student will live with
his or her parent(s)-
See
point 1 below
-
Property or Lease documents must
be under the parent's name. The
minimum leasing arrangement is
12 months through a Registered
Estate Agent and must be
concurrent to the year of
enrolment -See
point 2 below
-
Proof of residency must be
determined before the enrolment
process can begin. Families are
required to present
documentation that proves they
are living in the property such
as utility bills/connection
notices, removalist account or
purchase documents
-
Students who have a permanent
residential address within the
school neighbourhood area are to
maintain accurate updated
student, family and residency
records
-
Point 1:
Staying with a relative or
friend does not qualify as
"permanent" resident.
Guardianship is not a criterion
for enrolment unless supported
by the relevant papers endorsed
by the Family Law Court.
-
Point 2:
Permanent residential address
will be considered to be the
primary property
(owned/mortgaged) over a leased
property within the College's
neighbourhood area.
Documentation must be provided
on investment properties as part
of the enrolment process
Out of Zone Enrolments
From time to time, where
resources permit, the College is able to
consider enrolments from students residing
outside of the Neighbourhood Boundary.
Students transitioning from
grade 6 to year 7 who reside outside of the
Neighbourhood Boundary are invited to submit
additional information directly to the College
(Attention to Ms Joanne Wastle) to support their
application (facilitated through the primary
schools inline with the DEECD Transition
Timeline). These applications will be
considered, where resources permit, on the basis
of proximity to the Boundary, educational needs,
compassionate grounds and application to the
High Achievers’ Program. Students are encouraged
to provide the following information to support
out of Boundary enrolment enquiries:
-
Personal statements of how the
College can support the student
and how the student can
contribute to the College
-
Portfolio of work
-
Letter of support from
principal/teacher.
Students seeking enrolment into the
High Achievers’ Program are required to
complete the
Application Form.
Questions can be directed to Joanne
Wastle, Assistant Principal, on (03) 9707 7600
