Enrolment Capacity

To ensure Palm Beach Currumbin State High School is able to meet its enrolment obligations within the Enrolment Management Plan (EMP), the Principal must limit the enrolment of out-of-catchment students to ensure in-catchment students can enrol at their local state school.

​Our Programs of Excellence are supported through a defined number of places. Places in the Programs of Excellence will only be available to out-of-catchment enrolments once the demand for in-catchment enrolment has been met and capacity for future growth has been reserved.​
