Under the Department of Education’s Enrolment of Students in NSW Government Schools policy, all government schools in NSW have a designated local enrolment area with a pre-determined geographical boundary. Students who live within this boundary are entitled to be enrolled at the school. However, students who are temporary residents are not assured enrolment at the school aligned to their home residence and will only be accepted if the school can accommodate the enrolment. This ensures that there are enough places for students who are Australian citizens or permanent residents who reside in their local enrolment area.

Unfortunately, Killara High School is unable to enrol any International students. Dependents of International Students please refer to the application process otlined in the Temporary Visa Holder section on our Enrolments page.
