Como Public School follows the NSW Department of Education’s enrolment policy, as outlined below, ensuring a fair and transparent process for all students. Our enrolment procedures support the right of every child to access quality education in their local school while also considering non-local applications where capacity allows. The enrolment process is designed to provide families with clear guidelines for both local and non-local enrolments.
Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.
Local enrolment area
Check your address on School Finder to see if it is within our local intake area. Most schools have designated local enrolment areas. Note: local enrolment areas are subject to change.
How to enrol
If you live in our intake area and would like to apply to enrol at our school, start by submitting an online enrolment application. Online enrolment is currently only available for Australian or New Zealand citizens and permanent residents.
