Enrolment

ACT public schools are non-selective. Hughes Primary School gives priorirty to enrolment of children living in our Priority Enrolment Area (PEA). If our school has the capacity after accepting students from our PEA, we may offer enrolment to students who live outside our PEA. Many parents have made Hughes Primary their school of choice.

Enrolments are made at Hughes Primary School and are based on the ACT Education Directorate's Priority Area Policy.

All new students on enrolment must show proof of their residency status.

Enrolment ages:

• Children must be four years of age on or before 30 April to enrol in the preschool program, and
• Children who are enrolling in an ACT public primary school for the first time at Kindergarten must be five years of age on or before 30 April of the current year.

For Permanent residents the required proof may be:

• an Australian birth certificate and/or
• an Australian passport or
• permanent resident stamp in passport or
• a refugee document for travel to Australia.

All temporary residents must produce the Visa on which they have been granted entry to Australia. Permission to enrol temporary residents is determined by the Department of Education's International Education Unit and in some cases tuition fees are required.
