Palm Beach Currumbin State High is committed to providing access to quality education for students residing within its designated local catchment area.
Due to increasing enrolment capacity and growth, the school may not be able to meet this obligation in the future without implementing enrolment management strategies. The Enrolment Management Plan outlines the conditions for student enrolment. For more details, please refer to the PBC Enrolment Management Plan under the Enrolment Plan heading to the right.
Students residing outside the local catchment area may apply for enrolment through an Excellence Program, subject to selective entry criteria.
For information on how to enrol at PBC, please visit the Enrolling at Our School page.
If you wish to apply for Selective Entry @ PBC you will find all relevant information under Curriculum/Excellence Programs on this website.
Transferring from another school
A Certificate of Transfer should be obtained if a student transfers from one Queensland state school to another. The Interstate Student Data Transfer Note system is designed to transfer information between schools about students who move interstate, enabling new schools to support the educational placements of new students. Information on school policies, courses, and enrolment procedures are available on this website.
When transferring between schools:
Consider timing - will the move coincide with the change of term
Involve your children in discussions and decisions about moving - this may help allay any fears or concerns they have if you are moving from another state, be aware that Year 6 is the final year of primary school in Queensland
Discuss the forthcoming move with your current school and collect documentation outlining student achievement levels and education history
Prepare a list of your children's particular needs - e.g. preferred subjects, sporting and other interests
Transport needs, extracurricular activities
Consider subject choices, special education provisions, transport to and from school, traineeship programs, and cultural and sporting opportunities
Consider behaviour management, discipline and uniform policies, the school buildings and grounds.
