Enrolment Procedures – Naremburn School

Naremburn School is a School for Specific Purpose (SSP) providing specialised support for students with Intensive Learning Support needs, including behavioural support. Enrolment into an SSP differs from other public schools, as it involves a referral and placement process.

Step 1: Referral from NSW Government School
Students identified by their current school as needing additional support are referred to their school’s Learning and Wellbeing team. An Access Request is completed and forwarded to the Learning Wellbeing Officer at the Macquarie Park Office
Step 2: Placement Panel
Placement Panels are convened at the Macquarie Park Office in Week 3 and Week 8 of each term. Applications are carefully considered, and a determination is made. Naremburn School does not participate in this process.
Step 3: Offer and Acceptance
Once a placement is approved, an email is sent to the student’s school confirming that a position has been offered. Parents or caregivers must accept or decline the offer within 7 days.
Step 4: School Meeting and Interview

Parents/caregivers are asked to contact Naremburn School to arrange a meeting. During this meeting:

  • The school and its educational program are explained.
  • The student and executive staff complete an interview to determine whether the student wishes to enrol.
  • If appropriate, enrolment forms can be completed at this meeting; otherwise, a further meeting can be scheduled.
Enrolment Documentation

At enrolment, parents/caregivers check a copy of the student’s enrolment form, making any necessary corrections. Students must provide:

  • Medicare card
  • Birth certificate
  • Students in Year 9 or above also complete the Distance Education enrolment.

Completed forms—including the enrolment form, Access Request, Personal Support Learning Plan, and Risk Assessment—are emailed to the Learning and Wellbeing Officer at the Macquarie Park Office. These forms are reviewed and then presented to the Director, Educational Leadership (DEL) for approval.
