In NSW Government schools, applying to move from primary school to high school is a 2-step process:
To check whether you are are in the local intake area, or need to apply out of area, please check School Finder.
STEP 1 - The first step is to complete a Moving to high school expression of interest.
When completing the form, you will be able to indicate which school(s) you would like your child to attend in Year 7. This form will be provided and submitted through your current Primary School.
STEP 2 - The second step is to submit an enrolment application, which will be issued to you by the high school after they have assessed your expression of interest.
If your child is currently attending a NSW non-Government school, please contact our school directly for an Expression of Interest form.
Non Local enrolment applications
Students residing outside of the local intake area may be considered for enrolment depending on current student numbers and available space based on the enrolment ceiling against the department's selection criteria.
High Potential & Extension class placements
The Jannali High School has a High Potential & Extension class in both Year 7 and Year 8 for students who have a commitment to individualising learning, an interest in developing their creative talents and an ability to develop higher order problem solving skills. Only teachers already qualified or currently undertaking professional learning / mentoring in Gifted Education teach these classes.
The Jannali High School has a long tradition of engagement and success in the area of the creative and performing arts and has developed a whole-school ensemble performance program. Students are able to apply for special consideration to be enrolled in the school, based on a successful application for the Creative and Performing Arts ensemble program, in Dance and Drama.
The Placement Panel for the Creative and Performing Arts ensemble program consists of the Principal, the Deputy Principal responsible for the relevant year group, the Head Teacher Creative and Performing Arts and a classroom teacher responsible.
Students applying for enrolment in the Creative and Performing Arts ensemble program are required to complete the appropriate application form and undertake a formal audition. The Head Teacher Creative and Performing Arts and another teacher with expertise in the relevant curriculum area will conduct the audition at The Jannali High School or an alternate suitable venue. In addition to their written application and audition, applicants will need to address the school’s enrolment criteria. Further information is available on the Scholarships and Awards page.
