Mona Vale Public School Non-Local Enrolment Procedures

Entitlement To Enrol

In accordance with the NSW Department of Education policy, Enrolment of Students in NSW Government Schools, a student is entitled to enrol at Mona Vale Public School if their home is within the local intake area.

Parents/carers of children whose home is outside the local intake area may apply to Mona Vale Public School for non-local enrolment of their child.

Enrolment Cap

An enrolment cap for a school is established centrally, based on available permanent accommodation. This is to make sure every NSW student has access to their local school and to ensure that class sizes are at the recommended levels.

Procedures for Non-Local Enrolment Applications

Non-local enrolment applications are considered when Mona Vale Public School can accommodate a child below the enrolment cap, allowing a buffer for local enrolments throughout the year. When the school reaches this buffer, non-local enrolments will only be taken in exceptional circumstances. Mona Vale Public School will only accommodate non-local enrolments into classes with available places. In determining whether Mona Vale Public School can accommodate a child, the following procedures must be followed:

Applicaton

Non-local enrolment applicants should apply to enrol at Mona Vale Public School via the online or PDF enrolment applications available on the “Enrolment” section of the Mona Vale Public School website.

Non-Local Enrolment Criteria

Applications will be considered by the Mona Vale Public School Enrolment Panel, in the order they are submitted, according to the department’s policy and subject to the following Mona Vale Public School Non-Local Enrolment Criteria:

• Siblings already enrolled at the school
• Proximity and access to the school
• Safety and supervision of the student before and after school
• Recent change in the local intake area boundaries
• Medical reasons
• Compassionate circumstances
• Family history and connections to the school

These criteria have been developed in consultation with the Mona Vale Public School Parents and Citizens Association.

Enrolment Panel

The Mona Vale Public School Enrolment Panel consists of:

•  Deputy Principal
•  Teacher
•  P&C representative
•  Administration representative (Optional)

This panel will meet once per term, and when required throughout the school year, to consider non-local enrolment applications. Mona Vale Public School will notify parents of the result of their application. Parents may request a written explanation of the decisions of the panel.

Appeals

Unsuccessful non-local applicants may appeal against the decision of the enrolment panel. The appeal is made in writing to the principal and sets out the grounds of the appeal. The purpose of the appeal is to determine whether the stated criteria have been applied equitably. The parent will be advised of the outcome in writing. If the matter is not resolved, the final level of appeal is to the Director, Educational Leadership, Pittwater Network.
