HI Guys,
Visa thought so planning for a move in early January. Elde son will join Primary 5 but just spoke to Neutral Bay public school and they say no places are available for 2011 session. Just wondering, as we will arrive in Sydney in Janaury when schools are closed that if we go for rent in area like Killara is it possible that school in that catchment area may say no places available??? Just worried that if we take property for rent when schools are closed and not get a place for my son in a school we deicide to enrol him in. Sny such experience or information would be more than welcome..
Cheers

I also feel that a State school cannot refuse you if you live in the area.
It is something that I have always thought, and said, is the case. I hope I am not wrong

Each New South Wales public school has a defined local enrolment area.
This means that your child is designated to a particular school based on the permanent residential address of their primary caregiver.
Every public school reserves enough places within their school for students in their local enrolment area.
To find out the name and location of your local public school, call 131 536 or contact your nearest Department of Education and Training regional office.
