Enrolment

Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.

Local enrolment area

Check your address on School Finder to see if it is within our local intake area. Most schools have designated local enrolment areas. Note: local enrolment areas are subject to change.

How to enrol

If you live in our intake area and would like to apply to enrol at our school, start by submitting an online enrolment application. Online enrolment is currently only available for Australian or New Zealand citizens and permanent residents.

If you are not able to apply online or you prefer not to, download the paper application to enrol (PDF 768.4KB) form. Please complete the form in English. A translated application to enrol may help you do this.

Online enrolment can also be used for out-of-area enrolment. Please note that out-of-area enrolment procedures are subject to the department’s enrolment policy.

Enrolment applications are finalised at the school.

Out-of-area enrolment at Centaur 

As per Department Policy and requirements, all schools have a set number of enrolments which cannot be exceeded, known as the ceiling, and a point in enrolments where no out of zone (non-local) enrolment applications can be accepted, regardless of circumstances. This is known as the buffer and ensures adequate places are available for in zone students. 

Centaur Primary School's numbers are as follows: 

  • Ceiling (total allowed enrolments) - 578
  • Buffer (when reached, no out of zone enrolments accepted) - 550

If you have used the School Finder tool and found your address is out-of-area for enrolment at Centaur, please contact us to arrange an appointment. Phone 07 5524 9655 during office hours of 8.15am to 3pm.

High school enrolments

Early in the year families are asked to start the process of enrolling their Year 6 student into Year 7 at their local high school.

Your child’s permanent residential address determines which school is your local school. The School Finder tool can help you locate your child’s local school.

You can indicate which high school you would like your child to attend by completing the Expression of Interest form when it is sent home.
