School Enrolment Management Plan
Ipswich West State 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, Ipswich West State 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
Ipswich West State School has a maximum student enrolment capacity of 285 students.
The number of students entering Prep in any given year must not exceed 25 in 1 classroom, unless there are more than 25 students enrolling from within the catchment area.
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.
Ipswich West State School operates under an equidistant catchment area.
The school's catchment map is available from
EdMap.
Enrolment policy and procedure
The
enrolment policy includes further information about in-catchment and out-of-catchment enrolments, acceptance and assessment processes, as well as any associated fees and decisions on enrolments.
