Enrolment

Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.

Years of intake

The Ponds High School currently has a shared enrolment area with Glenwood High School. This shared area will be revised for the next student intake. Being a new and developing school, The Ponds High School has a progressive enrolment process, introducing a new year group each year (which started in 2015).

2015 – Year 7
2016 – Years 7 & 8
2017 – Years 7, 8 & 9
2018 – Years 7, 8, 9 & 10
2019 – Years 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11
2020 – Years 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12

Students who live in our drawing area but are unable to attend The Ponds High School due to the progressive enrolment will be zoned for either Glenwood, Riverstone or Quakers Hill High Schools.

Non-local enrolments

As outlined in the department’s enrolment policy, our school may accept enrolments from outside our local enrolment area if places are available.

We will assess applications for non-local enrolment on a case-by-case basis.

Distance education

Distance education is an equity program for students who are geographically isolated or whose individual circumstances prevent them from regularly attending school. Students must meet one of the conditions in the Distance Education Enrolment Procedures to be eligible to access this program as a full-time student.

Distance education schools also provide single subjects for students in Years 9 to 12 to enhance curriculum choice. Please contact us for details.

For more information about educational opportunities in rural areas, visit Rural and distance education.
