Your child’s address is where they permanently reside at the time of seeking enrolment. If your child lives at multiple addresses, their permanent residence is the address at which they spend most of their weekdays. To support a school’s request, you may be asked to complete a 100-point residential address . Documents should show the same parent/carer name and address as recorded on the application form.
If unsure what you need to provide, ask your school or refer to the residential address . Enrolment applications may not be successful if information is not provided or found not to be genuine.
