Enrolling at North Adelaide Primary School – Please read the following information carefully.

North Adelaide Primary School is under constant enrolment pressure. Due to a Departmental assessment our numbers are capped and a Capacity Management Plan has been put in place until advised otherwise. This means that there are changes to our enrolment procedures and that living in the North Adelaide Primary School Zone does not guarantee enrolment at the school. Please click on the following link to access the gazetted Capacity Management Plan pages 65-66 of the SA Government Gazette – 29 July 2021.

We DO NOT GIVE OUT ENROLMENT forms until an enrolment has been confirmed by the principal.

2023 - Years 1–6 – Register for a Vacancy
We have now reached capacity for 2023 in most year levels. Please enquire with the school, and if we are not able to accommodate the year level required you will be referred for enrolment to another neighbouring school.

Enrolment enquiries from parents of prospective students living inside the school zone will be considered if or when vacancies exist, with priority consideration afforded to those applicants already on the enrolment register. If a family has provided us with adequate proof of residency (see below) we will ask you to complete a (Registration of Interest) and add your child/ren’s name to our register. If a place becomes available we will contact you.

PROVIDING PROOF OF RESIDENCY
All information listed below must correlate with the parents of the child. We will not accept proof of residency whereby the residence is in another persons name ie: parent or grandparent.

Documents can be emailed to the school Enrolment Officer at: dl.0179.admin@schools.sa.edu.au, or brought into the office.

Owner – must reside at the property

A current Council Rates Notice or Property Purchase Agreement
A recent gas or electricity bill for that property (a 'Welcome Letter" will also suffice for new connections)

Rental Property – must reside at the property

A Rental Contract which must extend 12 months beyond the date of your child commencing school*
A Bond Receipt registered with the Consumer and Business Services Tenancies Board

*We do understand that most lease agreements are 12 months in duration. We will accept the current lease for adding your child’s name to the Register of Interest, however, this would be conditional on us receiving an extension, or formal offer of extension, of the lease from the landlord/agent before offering or confirming a placement.

In addition to the above, the following documents are also required:

We require a copy of your child’s birth certificate or passport to verify proof of age.

Subsequent Siblings - Outside of School Zone

There is no automatic entry for students who live outside the school’s zone and have older siblings who currently attend the school.

Once residency has been confirmed, you will receive a Registration of Interest form which will need to be returned to the school at your earliest convenience.

If your child has limited oral and written English, we expect that they attend an Intensive English Language Centre (IELC) to develop their English proficiency.
