Priority Enrolment Area (PEA) for Throsby P-6 school

All students are guaranteed a place for kindergarten to year 6 at their local Priority Enrolment Area school.

Schools look at enrolment applications and accept enrolments based on criteria outlined in the Directorate policy.  Our existing preschool families do not have to re-enrol for Kindergarten IF you live in our PEA, Priority Enrolment Area.

Students attending our preschools outside our Priority Enrolment Area will have to apply for Kindergarten as an out of area student if they wish to continue at Throsby.  Please check with us if you are unsure what to do.  Students are guaranteed a Kindergarten place at their PEA school.

The Priority Enrolment Area includes Throsby, Kenny, and South Forde (south of Helen Leonard Crescent and west of Amy Ackman Street), with Gungahlin and part of Harrison (above Mapleton Ave) as a Shared Zone between Throsby School and Harrison School’s P-6. If you would like to know more about enrolling your child, please visit the Education website at https://www.education.act.gov.au/public-school-life/enrolling-in-a-public-school for more information, and to enrol using the online enrolment form, or call the school on 61422880.
