Important Information Regarding Enrolments

The Cammeraygal High School intake area has changed, including the introduction of a new  Lower North Shore Enrolment Zone  for families in parts of Cammeray, Northbridge, Castlecrag and Naremburn. To see if you are impacted by these changes, please refer to this map.

New students in the  Lower North Shore Enrolment Zone  will be eligible to submit a  local enrolment application  to  Cammeraygal High School  or Mosman High School.

For students  moving to high school in 2026  applications will be guided by the high school preferences each student nominates when  Year 7 Expression of Interest  open on Monday 3 March 2025.

Students in the Lower North Shore Enrolment Zone who are  moving to high school in 2026  will be guaranteed enrolment at either Cammeraygal High School or Mosman High School, with school preferences considered alongside capacity.

New students in other grades in the Lower North Shore Enrolment Zone will be eligible to submit a local enrolment application to Cammeraygal High School or Mosman High School. Applications will be considered by the schools based on their capacity to accommodate the student.

Year 7 Expressions of Interest

Students living within the Cammeraygal High School intake area, but not within the Lower North Shore Enrolment Zone, will be prioritised at Cammeraygal High School.

New students in other grades will be considered in line with the enrolment policy.

These changes only apply to  new  student enrolments. Existing students applying to transfer between Cammeraygal High School and Mosman High School can submit a non-local enrolment for consideration in line with the Department of Education’s Enrolment Policy.

Exceptional circumstances can be considered on a case-by-case basis and in line with the Department of Education’s enrolment policy.

Year 6 2025 into Year 7 2026. If your child is attending a NSW government primary school the application process begins with the primary school.

You will receive an email from Expression of Interest email for Year 7 2026 during Term 1 from their current government primary school explaining how to register your expression of interest online.

The primary school will forward all relevant applications to Cammeraygal High School.

Early in Term 2 we will send requests for further information to out of area applicants, with enrolment packages to in area applicants distributed mid Term 2. These will need to be completed and returned to the school, along with any relevant documentation, by the specified dates.

If your child is attending a non-government primary school, please contact Cammeraygal High School enrolments on 9954 7100 or email cammeraygal-h.school@det.nsw.edu.au to register your interest.

In area applicants will receive an enrolment package in early June. These will need to be completed and returned to Cammeraygal HS, along with supporting documentation, by the specified date.

Out of Area applicants will receive an information letter by mid Term 2. All out of area applications are assessed by a panel which will consider and make recommendations on all non-local enrolment applications.

Your application will be reviewed by the placement panel taking into account the following selection criteria (not listed in a priority order):

• primary school performance reflecting the school's values related to:

  • learning focus; and
  • achievement

• student welfare or compassionate circumstances including:

  • proximity and access to the school;
  • siblings already enrolled at the school;
  • medical reasons; and / or
  • safety and supervision of the student before and after school;

• extra-curricular interests and abilities; and

• the structure and organisation of the school.

Your application will be reviewed and processed as a matter of priority with equal weighting being given to each of the criteria. To assist in this process you will be asked to supply a cover letter addressing the criteria listed above; including special achievements (such as awards, ICAS results) and extracurricular activities; as well as copies of Year 5 NAPLAN results, most recent school report and any relevant documentation supporting welfare or compassionate circumstances,

Year 7 first round offers are made in June. Parents / Caregivers who have returned requested information as per above will be placed on a wait list. The size of the wait list will reflect realistic expectations of potential vacancies and no wait list will be maintained if there is not a realistic potential for vacancies. The wait list will remain current until the end of the year.

All current 7-12

Please apply via the online portal. Cammeraygal High schools' enrolments officer will contact you and request student’s reports and other revelant documents including 100 point proof of address. All students with their parents will be interviewed to assess appropriate class placement and subject selection. Selection of electives will be subject to availability.

Any student who is not an Australian or New Zealand citizen must have an appropriate residency visa, or approval to enrol in accordance with the conditions set down by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection. See Temporary visas and international students for further information.

Any student welfare, learning support or health issues (eg anaphylaxis, diabetes) must be addressed at the time of enrolment. The Principal for all applicants will send a Request for Information form to the student’s previous school to check on any history of violent behaviour or learning support needs. The Principal will contact non-government schools directly to check on any such history. If the previous school is in another State, the appropriate forms will be sent and must be returned before enrolment can be finalised. If necessary, a Risk Management Plan will be prepared and discussed at the first available staff meeting, before enrolment is finalised.

All forms must be returned to the School Administration Office and data entered before a timetable can be generated. In general, the enrolment process will require 2-3 days for completion (dependent on prompt return of information by previous schools).
