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:
Step 1 - Are you in or out of our catchment area?
Before you enrol, it is important to identify whether or not you are 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.
On completing your enrolment application form, please submit along with the following documentation to Reception or directly to our Enrolments Officer at
