Out of Area Applications
Coogee Public School has an enrolment ceiling of 520 students, based on 21 permanent classrooms and providing a buffer to accommodate designated intake area students enrolling through the year. As we have a current enrolment of 559 students and 2 demountable classrooms, there is currently no provision for the enrolment of students who do not reside in the school’s designated intake area.
Demand for local places in 2010 has required the school to review its enrolment provision for all non-local students. Our enrolment policy is currently under review. If you wish to discuss enrolment, please contact the school Principal on (02) 9315 7255.

Temporary Visa Holders
Student dependants of people travelling to Australia from overseas on business or study visas may be enrolled in a NSW government school provided that the school is prepared to accept that enrolment. Students can be enrolled for the term of their visa. A student may not attend the school until they have been issued with an authority to enrol.
Most temporary residents who are working or studying in NSW, fall into a category liable to pay fees. There are a few exclusions where fees do not apply. NZ nationals are exempt from fees.

In all cases the enrolment in a school is a decision for the school Principal to take and is usually based on a space being available. This school usually does not accept enrolments for periods less than one school term. Presently only enrolments from students living in the designated school catchment area will be considered.
