Enrolment Management Committee
The primary school to open at WoodLinks State School in 2011 recognises as its prime obligation the provision of access to an appropriate educational service for students resident within this community as defined by its local catchment area.
This plan sets out the conditions under which students may be enrolled into WoodLinks State School.
In 2011, the school will have the capacity to enrol up to 412 students in 16 classrooms plus the special education centre.
The school's enrolment capacity for students who live outside the local catchment is dependant upon:
The local catchment area is based on equidistance boundaries with other schools. The attached map defines the boundary area for which WoodLinks State School is the closest school by vehicular trafficable route.
As WoodLinks State School is in an area that is still being developed or has the potential for re-development, the catchment boundary has the potential to change as new trafficable routes are established. This plan will be updated if the catchment area changes with an operative date. During this transition phase, students who live within the new proposed enrolment boundary will be allowed to enrol at the school.
Programs for students with disabilities are regional programs for students whose educational support needs are additional to, or different from, other students. Students who live outside the catchment area and are verified with a disability can enrol in the school to attend the program if it is the closest program to their home and meets their individualised need.
All students who reside within the local catchment area and are eligible for enrolment in the educational program offered by the school, have a right to enrol at the school. The Principal will hold places for students who relocate to within the catchment boundary throughout the school year.
Students who reside outside the school's local catchment boundary, who apply for enrolment at the school, will be put on a waiting list in order of receipt of application. Where there is spare capacity, students will be enrolled from the waiting list based on the following criteria and order of priority:
Applications for admission into Years Prep - Yr 7 will be accepted each year from the beginning of Term 3 for enrolment to commence from the beginning of Term 1 the following year.
Applications will remain current only for the year of submission.
All enrolment applications will be considered on merit in accordance with the enrolment criteria.
Parents wishing to have an unsuccessful enrolment application reviewed, may seek clarification from the principal. Parents may provide a written submission seeking a review of an unsuccessful enrolment application. This submission should present evidence to substantiate a claim that the stated criteria have not been applied fairly and equitably.
The Enrolment Management Committee will review written submissions and the reply should be in writing within 14 days of submission.
The enrolment management committee consists of Principal and a representative of the Assistance Regional Director - Primary.
Further appeal should be directed to the Assistance Regional Director - Primary whose decision will be final.
Reviewed annually.
The WoodLinks State School Enrolment Management Plan is operational from date gazetted.
