Parents of students wishing to enrol need to complete all forms within the relevant enrolment package.
If you require assistance when completing this package, including translation services, please contact our school officers on 9041 0900.
On receipt of the completed documentation, appointments can be made with the relevant Deputy Principal (K-6 or Year 7-12). This is especially important if enrolling part-way through a school year or if your child has special educational needs.
If you are not in the local intake area but would like to enrol your child, please contact us for an enrolment package on 9041 0900.
Students who are in Year 7-12 who do not live in Merredin and cannot commute by bus are advised to contact the Merredin Residential College on 9041 1727 for information regarding a boarding position.
BIRTH CERTIFICATE
When enrolling your child at Merredin College you will be asked to show your child’s Birth Certificate (original or certified copy) or birth extract or equivalent identity documents.
When supporting evidence cannot be provided, the principal considers the particular circumstances. Parent are reminded that providing false information is grounds for cancellation.
All school documentation should refer to the child’s name as it appears on the official identification certificate (where that has been provided). However, if families want to use a different name on a daily basis it is reasonable for the principal to agree. In this way the child can be known to all at the school by the preferred name and the legal name appears only on any documentation.
In cases where the parent indicates the child’s name and presence at the school need to be kept confidential the school will seek the advice of Coordinator Regional Operations who may need to confer with other authorities on which name is to be recorded and who should have access to the child’s information.
IMMUNISATION
On enrolment you will be asked to provide your child’s Immunisation Certificate. Please be aware that if your child has not been immunised (or the immunisation records have not been sighted) and and there is outbreak of a vaccine preventable disease such as measles of mumps at the College, your child will be exempted from school while the disease runs its course.
For measles for example, non-immunised contacts will be excluded from school for 14 days after the appearance of the rash in the last case identified in the school, unless the contact was immunised within 72 hours of first exposure.
PROOF OF ADDRESS
On enrolling you may be required to provide evidence of your usual place of residence. Examples include a utilities account, lease agreement of at least three months, proof of ownership of property, driver’s licence, statutory declaration, copies of any Family Court or other court orders, and visa details (if applicable). Principals may accept a maximum of 3 documents as evidence of residential address.
