Parents/Caregivers

Enrolments

Thank you for your interest in a student enrolment at Busselton Senior High School. We are an inclusive school that welcome and embrace new students. Together in partnership with parents/carers, we make our students education a priority.

Due to the high demand for places at our school the Department of Education have designated Busselton SHS as a local intake area school.

Students and their family must live within the school boundaries at the time the enrolment commences. Local Intake Schools have a designated geographical area from which enrolments are taken. Local Intake Schools must accept all applications from within their defined area, subject to residential qualifications. Students residing in dual Intake area may apply for either Busselton SHS or Cape Naturaliste College. All other applications from outside the designated area may apply for a “Cross Boundary Application”. View our Local Intake Map.
