Enrolment Policy
This enrolment policy has been developed with the agreement of the Principal, parents and the Director of Public Education. It is reviewed each year by the Enrolment Panel.
Procedures
All new enrolments must provide proof of residence via current documentary evidence. Those applicants who do not meet the threshold of residential proof documentation required by the Department of Education, are considered on an individual basis.
Applicants must follow this process:
1. Australian citizens or permanent residents residing WITHIN the CTHS drawing area:
Download and complete the “Application to Enrol in a NSW Government School” form OR apply online. To finalise the application process, you must bring the following documents to the school:
- Completed enrolment application form (if applied online, this will be printed at the school).
- Copies of school reports for at least the last twelve months. If applying for Year 10 or Year 11, copies of school reports for the past two years are required.
- Documents which confirm your residential address within our drawing area. You will be required to provide documents which add up to a minimum of 100 points. Refer to https://education.nsw.gov.au/content/dam/main-education/public-schools/going-to-a-public-school/media/documents/Residential-address-check.pdf. These documents must be in the family name, for the current residential address and must be originals or certified true copies. In some circumstances the Enrolment Panel may request additional documentation to support enrolment applications.
- Original proof of student’s identity and evidence of residential status, including birth certificate or passport and visa (if applicable).
- Documents which confirm medical conditions experienced by the student and a current medical plan from a General Practitioner. This includes Anaphylaxis, Asthma, Allergies and all serious medical conditions. The Department of Education requires parents to provide full disclosure of all medical conditions. Parents may contact the Head Teacher Wellbeing to discuss medical conditions and appropriate documentation.
- Please note: The Department of Education requires all students with Anaphylaxis to carry their autoinjector (either EpiPen or Anapen) wrapped with their current ASCIA Anaphylaxis Personal Plan, with them at all times. The plan should be wrapped securely around the autoinjector.
- Please note: The Department of Education requires all students with Asthma to have ready access to their reliever inhaler. Students should have their Asthma inhaler and Asthma Plan with them at all times.
The school will notify you of the results of your application. This may take up to five working days to allow time to verify and check the application. If successful, the school will contact you to arrange an interview time.
An interview will be organised for the student and parent/carer, with the Stage Head Teacher, to finalise the enrolment process. A starting date will be confirmed only at this time.
2. Australian Citizens or permanent residents residing OUTSIDE the CTHS drawing area:
Due to the high demand for student placement at Cherrybrook Technology High School, the only non-local enrolment applications that may be considered by the Enrolment Panel are those relating to:
- Siblings of students already enrolled in the school
- Medical reasons relating to disability provisions requiring the facilities of this school
- Compassionate circumstances of a serious nature.
In addition, senior school non-local enrolments are considered if the established curriculum can accommodate them and the reason relates to:
- Availability of subjects or combinations of subjects not available elsewhere.
To apply, write an email to the Principal via the enrolment email enrol@cths.nsw.edu.au. You must include all relevant details concerning the reasons for seeking an out of area enrolment (as listed above). You may wish to include copies of support material.
False or Misleading Enrolment Information or Practices:
The “Application to Enrol in a NSW Government School” form requires the applicant to declare the information provided is correct. It also makes it clear the provision of false information can result in the enrolment being reversed. Any decision to reverse an enrolment needs to take into account the special circumstances of the matter. This includes determining if the student was an out of area enrolment.
If a person provides materially false or misleading information to a school when making an application for enrolment, this is an offence which has a penalty of up to two years imprisonment [Section 307B of the Crimes Act 1900].
Temporary Visa holders and International Student Visa holders:
Cherrybrook Technology High School is currently beyond capacity and, as per NSW Government Policy, is unable to accept Temporary Visa Holders or International Students.
For assistance with Temporary Visa holders, please contact NSW DE International on 1300 300 229 or the school 02 9484 2144. For assistance with International Students, please contact the International Student Centre (ISC) 1300 302 456.
