ENROLMENT INFORMATION

Avonside Girls’ High School is a popular school and is frequently oversubscribed. The Board operates an enrolment scheme to prevent overcrowding or the likelihood of overcrowding at the school. Each year the Board will determine the number of places that are likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. The Board will publish this information by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.

Enrolment Scheme and Procedures

Effective 1 March 2021.

The guidelines for the development and operation of enrolment schemes are issued under section 11G (3) of the Education Act 1989 for the purpose of describing the basis on which the Secretary’s powers in relation to enrolment schemes will be exercised.

Fees

Avonside Girls’ High School Board of Trustees has opted into the $150 donations scheme offered by the Government. This means our Board will not be asking parents for contributions for delivery of the curriculum unless there is an overnight or take-home component.
