Enrolment Applications and Enquiries
Before you apply for enrolment at North Lakes State College, please read the following important information.
North Lakes State 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 North Lakes State 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.
The College Enrolment Management Plan (EMP) sets out the conditions under which students may be enrolled into North Lakes State College, subject to any other requirements or limitations in the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006.
College catchment information can be checked on the Enrolment Catchment Map.
The Enrolment Management Plan (EMP) identifies opportunity for enrolment from Out of Catchment into identified Signature Programs, where vacancy exists.
Students are required to agree and abide by our College Student Code of Conduct and Student Uniform Policy.
Proof of Residency documents e.g. rates notice, electricity notice, proof of purchase or lease agreement (original documents only will be accepted) are required prior to enrolment processing. When these documents have been provided as part of the application process details of the scheduled enrolment sessions will be communicated.
