The Education Directorate has announced that enrolments in Canberra’s public schools for 2020 are now open.
Announcing the move, Minister for Education and Early Childhood Development, Yvette Berry said more than 49,000 Canberra children and young people currently attended 88 public schools in the ACT, supported by more than 3,800 teaching professionals.
“Every ACT public school is a great school and every child from Kindergarten through to Year 12 is guaranteed a place at their local school,” Ms Berry said.
“Due to growth in enrolments, some schools no longer have space for general out-of-area students, while others do. However, all schools will consider exceptional cases related to student wellbeing.”
She said all ACT public schools delivered high quality education for the Territory’s children and young people, putting the child at the centre of their learning experience.
“All ACT public schools offer a broad choice of exciting learning opportunities, backed by excellent teachers and advanced technologies,” Ms Berry said.
“All ACT public schools are inclusive, welcoming learning environments with a focus on making all students feel safe, connected and respected.
“Public schools have a range of support programs and services in place to help all students, regardless of background, reach their potential.”
The enrolment process may be started with information on preschool, priority enrolment areas, enrolling out-of-area, and support programs at this PS News link.
