Schools Brisbane
 

Hello
I'm sure there's a thread here somewhere but I'm working off the I phone
so any help would be appreciated

Were moving to Brisbane in Feb, but were getting a free house for a bit with
my wifes visa
Were not sure on the suburb we will finally settle to, so my question is , how long in advance do you have to apply for your kids to get in to state schools? , were hoping we can apply when we get to Auatralia after
we've found our preferred suburb ?
I've been there before abd we've done the real estate
searches, but I don't want to commit to a school from the UK
Thanks

Primary or Secondary?

Re: Schools Brisbane
 

If you are living in the catchment of a state school, that school will take you immediately.

Secondary

Ok
So hypothetically , if we choose Paddington, we can join the secondary schools within this catchment at any time ?even at short notice when we arrive in Brisbane

Re: Schools Brisbane
 

Yep, indeed! :thumbup:

(Well we could)

Re: Schools Brisbane
 

Yes, any state school has to take you immediately as long as you can prove you live in their catchment - be careful with catchment areas, sometimes one side of a street will be in one schools's catchment and the other side a different catchment.
