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.
The intake area is changing for all new enrolments from 2027.
The new intake area is viewable via School Finder .
The new Jordan Springs High School will open in 2027.
To accommodate the new school changes are being made to the intake areas for Cranebrook High School and the Chifley College campuses.
The new intake area will apply for Year 7 and Year 8 enrolments commencing in the 2027 school year.
Years 9, 10 11 and 12 will still need to apply to their previous local high school during this time. To determine which alternate school is available to you please access the School Finder site and search with your home address.
For 2028 the school will open to Years 7, 8 and 9.
Years 10, 11 and 12 will still need to apply to their previous local high school during this time.
I have a child already attending a 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 a school.
I have a child already attending a school. Can I enrol their sibling/s at the same school?
Siblings of currently enrolled students will be assessed under the department's 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
