Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.
Local enrolment area
Most schools have designated local enrolment areas. The School Finder shows our local enrolment area. Note: local enrolment areas are subject to change.
Enrolling at Jerrabomberra Public School.

Non-local enrolments
As outlined in the department’s enrolment policy, our school may accept enrolments from outside our local enrolment area if places are available.
We will assess applications for non-local enrolment on a case-by-case basis.
Additional documentation required for enrolment
If your child has not been previously enrolled in a NSW public school, you will need to provide the following documents:
- your child's birth certificate or identity documents
- proof of student's residential address, such as your driver's licence, council rates notice, residential lease or utility bill
- your child's immunisation history statement based on the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR)
- family law or other relevant court orders (if applicable)
Starting School
Your child can start Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year if they turn five on or before July 31 in that year. By law, all children must be enrolled in school by their sixth birthday.
Students start new work at the beginning of the school year. It is both a social and educational advantage for your child to start school as soon as possible in the new year.
Temporary visas and international students
For information about eligibility and forms to complete, visit the Temporary Residents Program.
Distance education
Distance education is an equity program for students who are geographically isolated or whose individual circumstances prevent them from regularly attending school. Students must meet one of the conditions in the Distance Education Enrolment Procedures to be eligible to access this program as a full-time student.
