Gooburrum State School welcomes new enrolments in Prep to Year 6 at any time of the year and we look forward to welcoming new families to our school community.
We cannot approve enrolments without sighting your child’s birth certificate. Where it is not possible to obtain a birth certificate (e.g. for a child born in a country without a birth registration system), a passport or visa document will suffice. We will also accept a passport or visa for international students approved for enrolment by Education Queensland International (EQI).
Our school operates within an enrolment management plan. All students who reside within the catchment boundaries are eligible to attend Gooburrum State School. You can access the catchment area map External link provided by Education Queensland to determine if you reside within catchment.
How to Enrol
For each child, complete an Education Queensland enrolment application, and all consent forms listed in the related links column of this page.
