Enrolling at our school

Benowa State School has a dedicated Enrolment Officer to guide you seamlessly along the enrolment process.
Explained below are the three steps to enrolling your child/ren at Benowa State School:

1. Do you reside within our catchment area?

Before you enrol, it is important to identify whether or not you live within the Benowa State School catchment area. Please visit the Department of Education edMap website, enter your street address and the map will show you whether or not you are within the Benowa State School catchment. More information on our Catchment Area and Enrolment Management Plan can be found here.

2. The Enrolment Application Process

The type of enrolment application you submit, is based on whether you reside within or out of catchment and if you are starting Prep. Please download the relevant enrolment application below or contact our Enrolment Officer to arrange collection of an enrolment pack.

• Birth Certificate (or other documentary evidence)
• Current passport and visa for any child born overseas
  
• A primary source of proof of residence such as a rates notice or lease agreement
• A secondary source of proof of residence such as a recent electricity bill or drivers licence.
• Any medical information relevant to your child
  
• Legal/court order if applicable
  

3. Enrolment Interview

If your application has been approved, our Enrolment Officer will contact you to arrange an appointment for you and your child/r​​​​​en to attend an interview. This is the final step of the enrolment process.

We invite you to read our Information Booklet​ prior to your enrolment interview so you can raise any questions you might have at that stage.
