Guided Tours Of CNPS

When considering CNPS for your child’s primary education, we encourage you and your child to have a tour of our school and classrooms.

Enrolment Ceiling

Coburg North Primary School has an enrolment ceiling. The existence of an enrolment ceiling enables our school to maximise the available learning and play space for students, and enables all students to enroll for whom the school is nearest to their permanent residential address. Where there are insufficient places for all students who seek entry, the following priority is used for determining which students should be enrolled:

1. Students for whom Coburg North Primary School is the nearest school to their permanent residential address in accordance to the CNPS enrolment boundary map (see map below).  Visit Find My School to check if you reside within our area.
2. Students with siblings who will be concurrently attending Coburg North Primary School.
3. Children of current Coburg North Primary School staff.
4. Students who reside outside the school’s enrolment boundary map, and in order of the closeness of their residential address to the school.

The Principal has the right to exercise discretionary judgment on matters pertaining to enrolments that are considered ‘special circumstances’.

Please note we cannot guarantee enrolment if your permanent residential address is outside of our Designated Neighbourhood Area

Please contact the school for an Out of Coburg North Primary School Zone Expression of Interest form.
