Note

The local-intake area maps are based on a written description of the local-intake area (LIA) for the school as published in the WA Government Gazette. Although the map closely represents the LIA description, for some houses near the boundary (especially on street corners), it may be necessary to refer to the written description. The street address of a residence is used to determine whether that dwelling is inside a particular LIA. While local-intake areas for most schools do not change from year to year, changes may be made to local-intake areas as required. Such changes are published in the WA Government Gazette and subsequently the local-intake area map will be updated.

Required Documentation

To assist the school to determine the student's eligibility under local intake, the following documentation needs to be attached to the application for enrolment:

The renting of a room at a property is not acceptable for enrolment.

Parents are reminded that under the Education Act 1999, Division 2.20 "the Principal may cancel the enrolment if false or misleading information was given in the application."
