Enrolment

Important Enrolment Information

During the enrolment process, please let the Principal know of any special circumstances, additional learning needs, health or medical conditions affecting your child. Due to the continued and sustained growth in new housing within Riverbank Public School’s intake area, the catchment has been adjusted. If your child is already enrolled as a local student based on a previous intake area, they do not have to change schools. You have the choice to keep them at their existing school or move them to the school you are now allocated to.

If you relocate outside the Riverbank Public School catchment, unfortunately we are unable to enrol younger siblings.

 

Temporary Resident Visa

Under the Department of Education’s Enrolment of Students in NSW Government Schools policy, all government schools in NSW have a designated local enrolment area with a pre-determined geographical boundary. Students who live within this boundary are entitled to be enrolled at the school. However, International students and students who are temporary residents are not assured enrolment at the school aligned to their home residence and will only be accepted if the school can accommodate the enrolment. This ensures that there are enough places for students who are Australian citizens or permanent residents who reside in their local enrolment area.

Riverbank Public School is unable to accept international students or temporary residents as we are above our enrolment capacity.

 

 

Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.

Local enrolment area

How to enrol

If you live in our intake area and would like to apply to enrol at our school, start by submitting an online enrolment application. Online enrolment is currently only available for Australian or New Zealand citizens and permanent residents.
