Step 2 KHS Non-Local Application - Non Local Students ONLY
An out of area applicant lives outside the drawing area for the school. School finder on the Department of Education website allows you to find your local school based on your address. Click here to check the local high school for your address.
Recently NSW Education introduced a 'cap' to limit the number of students each school is allowed to enrol. Kirrawee's cap has not impacted our enrolments allowing us to enrol the same quantity of students as previous years. Approximately a third of our students come from out of the area, so many places are available.
The KHS Non-Local application will handed out on the information night, is available on our school website and can be found here.
The KHS Non-Local Application is to be returned to Kirrawee High School by the 15 March 2024.
Non-local section criteria:
- Siblings already enrolled at the school.
- Demonstrate commitment to learning and personal academic progress.
- Leadership experience/training/success in music/band, performing arts and sports, and other special interests.
- Compassionate or family grounds

- Demonstrated achievement in the top two bands in NAPLAN or comparative achievement in other assessments.
- Learning characteristics which indicate a high order ability to find and solve problems, make connections and apply reasoning skills.
- High performance in psychometric assessment or equivalent IQ testing i.e. WISC.
A payment will be incurred with this nomination. However, if you foresee any issues associated with the payment of this fee, please contact the school.
