Out of Zone Enrolment Policy
Rationale:
Mullaway Primary School is committed to the concept that children attend their local public school. At times
there may be good reason for parents, who reside outside of our school enrolment zone, to aspire to enrol
their child at Mullaway Primary School.
The following outlines the process and criteria involved in accepting or declining out-of-zone enrolment.
Process:
1. Prior to applying for the Out-of-Zone Enrolment, parents are advised to have discussed their child’s
enrolment with their local public school principal.
2. Parents who wish to apply for an out-of-zone enrolment are required to complete the Out-of-Zone
Enrolment Application on page two of this document and return it to Mullaway Primary School.
3. Once the application has been received, the principal will contact the applicant’s local public school
principal to inform them of the application and to acquire further information if necessary.
4. For any application to be accepted there must be availability within the class in which the child is to
enrol. Classroom availability is capped at two students below the recommended class size to allow
for mid-year in-zone enrolments as follows:
i. Kindergarten - 18 students
ii. Year 1 - 20 students
iii. Year 2 – 22 students
iv. Years 3 to Year 6 – 28 students
v. Composite classes are capped at two less than the above classroom maximums.
5. The following criteria, in order of priority, will be used to assess the application:
a. Parents work at Mullaway Primary School.
b. Sibling/s currently attends Mullaway Primary School.
c. Medical reason for student to attend.
d. Sibling/s or parent/s previously attended Mullaway Primary School.
e. Transportation reason for student to attend.
f. Other reasons.
6. The principal will assess the application in consultation with a committee consisting of the proposed
class teacher and an assistant principal.
7. Once a decision has been determined by the committee, the parent/s will be notified by the
principal either by telephone or in writing.
8. If the application is accepted but there is no availability (See Step 4) the student will be placed on a
waiting list. Their position on the waiting list will be determined by the criteria priority (See Step 5)
