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 can be enrolled:

• Students with siblings who will be concurrently attending Coburg North Primary School.
• Students who reside outside the school’s enrolment boundary map, and in order of the closeness of their residential address to the school.
• Students may be enrolled on compassionate grounds.

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
