Welcome to Woree State School, we invite you to read our 'Parent Handbook' to learn more about our school. Parent Handbook (PDF, 3MB)
To enrol a student please contact the School Office to make an appointment with the Woree State School Enrolment Officer. It is school policy that every student has an enrolment interview. Parents or caregivers who reside within the Woree State School catchment (see www.qgso.qld.gov.au/maps/edmap for catchment area) may enrol children at any time during the school year. Children residing outside of the catchment may submit an Expression of Interest to enrol, however, enrolment conditions apply and enrolment may be declined.
Enrolment packages are available from the school office. Following enrolment, student’s class placements are negotiated, with consideration of factors, including age appropriateness, gender balance in classes, academic performance, need for peerfriends, longevity of enrolment and social/emotional needs.
Required documents
When enrolling a child the following documents need to be sighted by the school. These include:
- Student’s birth certificate.
- Confirmation of address, due to school catchment.
- Any illness, allergies and prescribed medications.
- Passports / visas for children who were born overseas.
- Permission for children’s photos to be published for media/Internet use.
- Family court orders.
- Other court orders.
- Last report card from previous school.
Custody
Parents are asked to supply current custodial details upon enrolment. Copies of documentary evidence are required so that the school can deal with any event with sensitivity. Information regarding legal access orders or custody order details will be treated confidentially to ensure that the rights of the child and caregivers are safeguarded.

be unable to meet this obligation in the future, unless action is taken now to manage enrolments. Woree State School has limited ability to accept enrolments from outside the catchment area.
A School Enrolment Management Plan (School EMP) sets out the conditions under which students may be enrolled into Woree State School, subject to any other requirements or limitations in:
