Appealing a Year 7 enrolment

If a school decides not to accept your enrolment, you can appeal. This situation can happen if you request to enrol at a school outside of your school zone, and the school does not have enough places.

You can lodge a written appeal to the school. The timeline for appeals to the school is detailed in the 'Placement Information Pack'.

Appeals are considered by the school's placement committee and/or principal. They will check the priority order of placement and confirm your address. They will also consider appeals on compassionate grounds on a case-by-case basis.

If your appeal to the school is unsuccessful and you're not satisfied with the outcome, you can escalate the appeal to your local regional office. The timeline for appeals to the regional office is detailed in the 'Placement Information Pack'.

Appeals to the regional office are considered by a panel of senior department staff.

 

You must lodge your appeal using the department's Appeal Form
