Enrolment policy for out of area students at Pittwater High School

Due to increased demand from local students, the possibility of an out of area placement is extremely limited and Pittwater High School has already reached its enrolment cap set by the NSW Department of Education for 2020. A copy of the Department’s Enrolment Policy is available here.

Please see below for a map to determine if Pittwater High is your local high school. Neighbouring and Narrabeen Sports High School are also excellent schools and will welcome enquiries from students living in their catchment areas.

Out of area enrolment requests will be considered case by case with consideration to the following points.

1. The student has a sibling currently attending the school 2. For Year 7 applications, students are in Year 6 and currently attend one of our main local primary schools, Newport Public or Mona Vale Public. 3. The student demonstrates a positive attitude and strong commitment to their learning as demonstrated in school reports 4. The amount of travel and means of transport to PHS is manageable – there must be a commitment to be punctual to school and arrive no later than 8.50 each day 5. Further unique special circumstances can be identified by application, which will be reviewed by the school in conjunction with the Director of Public Schools for the

It is recommended that out of area applicants provide as much documentation as appropriate to support the points under which they wish to be considered. All out of area applications will be reviewed by the enrolment panel which consists of the Principal, Deputy Principal and the School Enrolment Officer.

We welcome, and are able to offer placements to, all genuine local area enrolments even if we have exceeded our enrolment cap. For local enrolments a 100 point residential address check is required - click here for link.

Please be advised that falsifying documentation to obtain a school enrolment is an offence that can lead to heavy fines.
