School Enrolment Management Plan
Talara Primary College 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, Talara Primary College 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
Talara Primary College has a maximum student enrolment capacity of 1,162 students.
The number of students entering Prep in any given year must not exceed 166 in 7 classrooms, unless there are more than 166 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.
Talara Primary College operates under a negotiated 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.
