This school’s intake area is changing
As communities grow and change, the department sometimes needs to adjust local enrolment intake areas. These changes help keep enrolments balanced across schools and make sure every student can access high-quality public education in well-resourced, supportive learning environments.
Kambora Public School will be placed into recess effective 27 January 2026. This means that the school will not be accepting enrolments for the 2026 school year.
To provide clarity and certainty for the local community, an intake area adjustment has been implemented to support continuity of learning for students.
The current Kambora Public School intake area, and any existing students, will be reassigned to Mimosa Public School.
Additional small changes for Belrose Public School and Wakehurst Public School are happening at the same time to optimise travel times and walkability, promote community cohesion and achieve a more equitable distribution of students amongst local schools.
The intake area is changing for all new enrolments from 2026.
The new intake area is viewable via School Finder .
I have a child already attending this school. Can they stay there if I am now in a different school’s intake area?
Students currently enrolled at Kambora Public School will need to apply for an alternative public school in 2026. Existing students and families in the Kambora Public School intake area will now have the option of attending Mimosa Public School as a local student.
For families at other local schools, such as Belrose Public School, Mimosa Public School and Wakehurst Public School, there is no requirement to change schools due to the intake area adjustments.
I have a child already attending a local school. Can I enrol their sibling/s at the same school?
For families at other local schools, such as Belrose Public School, Mimosa Public School and Wakehurst Public School, siblings of currently enrolled students will be assessed under the departments enrolment policy .
Families with a child currently enrolled at their assigned local school will retain the ability to enrol siblings at the same school, even if there are changes to the intake area boundaries that make their home address out-of-area.
How are new intake areas developed?
Many factors are considered to inform the development of new intake areas for example:
- enrolment trends
- opportunities to align with primary school local intake areas
- public transport access
- the size and utilisation rate of schools
- the number of students living in each proposed intake area
- and the physical capacity of schools to enrol students
