WA school enrolment process by Department of Education: Quote:Following acceptance of the Application for Enrolment Form, the principal will obtain from the parent of the student the following information which is essential at the time of enrolment (refer to Appendix D - WA Public School Enrolment Form):
- enrolee's legal name, usual place of residence and date of birth; - details of legal provisions for care, welfare and development of the enrolee; - country of residence of enrolee and if applicable, the right to reside in Australia; - contact information to be used in emergency situations; - details of any disability the enrolee is known to have; and - any ongoing medical condition the enrolee is known to have and any procedure to be followed if the condition requires or may require support during the school day. In this case a Health Care Authorisation must be completed (see the Student Health Care policy).
Principals will:
- require parents to provide documentary evidence of enrolees legal name, age, proof of address and current Family Court Order/s; - advise parents that enrolment records should be kept up to date (e.g. any variations to Family Court Orders; parenting plans registered with the Family Court; and any change to the student's usual place of residence or to the student's medical condition or health care support); - inform parents of the Department's privacy and confidentiality obligations; and - enter the enrolee's details in the student's file and on an enrolment register (enrolee's name, date of birth; date of enrolment and date enrolment ceases). In addition to bring birth certificate, passport with visa to prove residence and immunisation records, it's probably a good idea to bring your child's school reports - just in case they're required in the enrolment process.
