School Enrolment Management Plan
Nerang 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, Nerang 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.
Student enrolment capacity
Nerang State High School has a maximum student enrolment capacity of 1,317 students.
The school’s Program of Excellence in the Comets Academic Program, the Quality Arts Program and the Athlete Development Program are supported through the allocation of a defined number of places. Places in the Programs of Excellence will only be available to out-of-catchment enrolments once the demand for in-catchment enrolment has been met and sufficient student enrolment capacity has been reserved for future in-catchment growth. Currently Nerang State High School has the capacity to enrol:
- 84 in the Comets Academic Program of Excellence in Years 7–9
- 175 in the Quality Arts Program of Excellence in Years 7–9
- 84 in the Athletes Development Program of Excellence in Year 7–9.
Local catchment area
A school's local catchment area is the defined geographical area from which the school is to have its core intake of students.

The school's catchment map is available from
