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.
What you need to do: If you think your child has a valid reason to be accepted (for example, special circumstances listed in the EMP), you can still apply but you must include supporting evidence with the enrolment form.
EMP available: Please find below the school’s EMP

Out-of-Catchment Excellence Program Applications
Students who reside outside our catchment area are welcome to sit the relevant examination, trial, or audition. Following assessment, they will be placed on a waitlist and considered in ranking order should positions become available. As our Programs of Excellence have a defined number of places, offers to out-of-catchment students are subject to available enrolment capacity. Priority is given to students who live within our catchment and offers to out-of-catchment applicants may be made once in-catchment enrolment needs have been met and places remain available.
Students who reside
outside the catchment area may only be enrolled in accordance with the
conditions outlined below:
Acceptance remains at the discretion of the
Principal
Sibling Enrolment - If the enrolled sibling was residing within the school's catchment area at the time of their enrolment but has since moved out of catchment, the sibling enrolment policy still applies based on the original address at the time of the initial enrolment.
Excellence Program Waitlist - Subject to available student enrolment capacity, places will only be available to out-of-catchment enrolments if they satisfy the school's criteria for placement in that particular Program of Excellence and the defined number of places has not yet been filled by enrolments from within the catchment. Sufficient student enrolment capacity must be reserved for future in-catchment growth.
