How to Enrol

ZONING

Stradbroke School is a zoned school.

Families must be able to provide ‘adequate proof of residency’ for living in the school zone, for the enrolment registration process to commence. However, living in the school zone may not guarantee enrolment at the school upon initial application.

PRINCIPAL TOURS 2024

Our Principal’s Tours provide a great opportunity for you to gain valuable information regarding our enrolment process, insights into the curriculum and student learning.

A member of our leadership team will also take you on a short tour of the school facilities and help gain an insight into what makes our school so valued within our community.

Please contact Stradbroke School on 8337 2861 to find out when the next Principal Tour is scheduled.

WHAT DO I NEED TO PROVIDE TO COMMENCE THE ENROLMENT REGISTRATION PROCESS?

In the first instance, an Enrolment Register Application form is required to be submitted to Stradbroke School together with additional information regarding ‘adequate proof of residency’ and ‘proof of age’ documentation as outlined below.

If your child will be commencing in Reception, Stradbroke School wishes to advise that Enrolment Register Application forms will only be accepted once your child has commenced Kindergarten or your child has turned 4 years of age.

Download the Enrolment Register Application form

The Enrolment Register Application form and supporting documentation can either be emailed or returned to the Stradbroke School Front Office.

Families must physically reside in the Stradbroke School zone to be automatically eligible to enrol at Stradbroke School.

Some ‘out of zone’ enrolments may be permitted by the Principal, if there is capacity in a year level.
Families residing ‘out of zone’ are welcome to submit an Enrolment Register Application form with the additional documentation, for consideration by the Principal. Parents are advised that a submission does not guarantee acceptance of enrolment at Stradbroke School.

Please note that there are currently limited vacancies in most year levels for 2024 enrolment.
