Enrolment

Local enrolment area

Most schools have designated local enrolment areas. The School Finder shows our local enrolment area. Note: local enrolment areas are subject to change.

Oxley High School Enrolment Eligibility

Oxley High School prioritises in-zone enrolments for students.

Applications from students residing out of the Oxley High School zone will be assessed by the enrolment committee.

Capacity to Accept Out of Zone Enrolment Applications

Applications to enrol non-local at Oxley High School is at the discretion of the Principal in accordance with the enrolment ceiling and enrolment procedures.

The school is over the enrolment ceiling and non-local enrolment is extremely limited. 

Waiting List

If you are unsuccessful in gaining enrolment at Oxley High School, you may apply ask for placement on the waiting list. Waiting lists are only in place for the current school year. 

Decision by the Principal to Accept Enrolment

The decision to enrol must satisfy the principal that the application is truthful.

All applications to enrol must be based on the family's permanent residential address (where the family live and not a business address or PO Box).

We will not accept cross town boarding (with a friend or family member) as a permanent address. 

Where a family is in a split or shared arrangement it is at the discretion of the Principal to;

• determine the actual address for enrolment and;
• whether accepting the enrolment is in the best educational interests of the child.

Enrolment applications for students in temporary, transitory or arrangements designed to mislead enrolment  may lead to prosecution and removal from the school. 

Siblings

Siblings of enroled students are now prioritised for enrolment. 

Proof of Enrolment

You will be expected to supply a 100 point proof of residence with your application to prove your address.

The Principal or their delegate will have the final determination in accepting the documents as proof of permanent residential address.

Temporary Resident Visas

Public schools can now enrol students on Temporary Visas.

We will assess applications for non-local (out of zone) enrolment on merit. 

Families must state their case for non-local enrolment.

Non-local applications are not automatically accepted into Oxley High school.

Reasons for Considering Non-Local Enrolment

As set out in the NSW Department of Education's reasons for considering enrolment, placement criteria could include factors such as:

• proximity or access to the school.
• access to single-sex education or to co-education. 
• disability or medical-related reasons.
• safety and supervision of the student before and after school.
• curriculum offering of the school to extend the special aptitudes of the student and availability of subjects or combinations of subjects.
• special interests and abilities.
• compassionate circumstances.
• the structure and organisation of the school.
