This school’s intake area is changing
At times it is necessary for the department to adjust a school’s local enrolment area. Intake area changes are happening to better balance enrolments, utilisation of assets and capacity across schools, ensuring students continue to have access to high-quality public education.
The intake area changed for all new enrolments from 2025.
The new intake area is viewable via School Finder .
A transition period will be in place for affected families for the 2026 school year. During this transition period families in the identified areas of change will be considered local to both Henry Fulton Public School and Samuel Terry Public School, depending on their place of residence, with the option to enrol at either. From 2027 the option to enrol at either school will no longer apply, and families will only be guaranteed enrolment at their new local school.
I have a child already attending this school. Can they stay there if I am now in a different school’s intake area?
Yes, they can. There is no change for students already attending this school.
I have a child already attending this school. Can I enrol their sibling/s at the same 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
