​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Bardon State School is an ‘enrolment managed’ school. This means that students that reside within our catchment may enrol in our school. At times there may be opportunity for limited enrolments to be taken from outside the catchment.

Parents wishing to enrol their child at Bardon State School may do so from term 2 each year. Enrolments are processed in the order they are received for consideration to “out of catchment’ enrolments.

Please email applications to office@bardonss.eq.edu.au.

Prep

Prep is a full time (5 days per week) non-compulsory program. When enrolling, parents must provide verification of their child’s date of birth (Birth Certificate, Passport) and proof of residence.

The Prep year is a combination of formal and informal learning. The program is based on the Australian Curriculum and the Early Years Curriculum Guidelines for Social and Personal Learning, Active Learning Processes and Health and Physical Understanding.

The students learn using a combination of hands on concrete materials, ICT’s and structured learning activities.

Catchment information regarding enrolment

Parents or legal guardians who wish to enrol their child/ren at the school will need to demonstrate that the student’s principal place of residence is within the catchment area.

A school's local catchment area is the defined geographical area from which a state school accepts its core intake of students. Refer to the School Catchment area map for catchment geographical boundaries.

Current proof of residency at the address indicated can be provided by way of one of the following:

  • one Primary Source a current rental/lease agreement, or rates notice, or unconditional sale agreement and
  • one Secondary Source a utility bill ( gas or electricity ) showing this same address and parent’s/legal guardians name.

The principal my request further sources of proof of residency, such as:

  • additional Utility Bills
