Prospective Non-local Year 7 students
Year 6 students who are enrolled in a public school should apply through their school. Students in private schools should apply directly to the school office.
Further information about non-local enrolments can be found here.
Enrolments into other years
Due to the high demand for places at Crestwood High School for students who live in the local drawing area, there are few places for non local students.
The correct procedure for all other enrolments is to apply to the school directly. An appointment will be made with a member of the senior executive to interview the prospective student and review any documentation from their previous school.
If you are successful in obtaining an interview, you must bring both a copy and the originals of all documents listed in the enrolment policy.
If the application is successful, enrolment forms and support documentation will be provided and a starting date set.
All enrolment applications must be accompanied by proof of residence. This must include a proof of ownership of the property or a signed rental lease through a registered real estate agent. In some circumstances the school may require the provision of one or more statutory declarations confirming the residential address.
Enrolments may be withdrawn if it is subsequently found that false information has been given.
Support Unit Enrolments
Enrolments in the Support Unit are determined by the Department of Education and Training and applications should be made through the Nirimba Office (Phone 9208 7611).
High Potential Gifted Education
Due to the updated Department of Education enrolment policy, non-local students will no longer be able to apply for enrolment at Crestwood High School through the High Potential Gifted Education program.
The Crestwood High School High Potential Gifted Education program will continue as an enrichment program for those students who are already enroled at the school. Applications for the HPGE class are conducted internally.
