What is the process after an enrolment application has been submitted? - Once an enrolment application has been submitted, the Enrolments Team will verify all forms have been submitted and are completed.
- The enrolment application will progress to our sector Deputy Principal (DP) for review.
- If the DP signs off on the application and all forms have been received the student will be timetabled.
- A student's application cannot progress until all forms have been received.
- All enrolment applications are processed and timetabled in order of receipt.
- Students are placed in classes where capacity allows.
- The Enrolments Team will confirm the student's enrolment via a “welcome” email. This email will be sent once the student is entered into our system.
- The Class Teacher / Connect Teacher will email student login details. This will occur within 24-72 hours from student activation. (Students cannot be made active until the first day of school 2025)
- Lesson access instructions will come from the class / subject teacher/s via email once the student is made active on our system. For students transition from a non state school this may take up to a further 3 to 5 days.
- If it is decided the student will no longer require an enrolment at the Cairns SDE, the parent is to notify the Enrolments Team as soon as possible.
