Applications for Gifted & Talented (GAT) Languages need to be made through the Department of Education & Training's Gifted & Talented Section.

If I am in a local primary school, do I automatically get in?

 

Eligibility for enrolment is based on where you live rather than which primary school you went to. Details of the Local Area Intake Boundary, the Priorities for Enrolment and a copy of the Local Area Intake Boundary Map are available here.

 

Is my house within the school intake boundary?

 

Mount Lawley Senior High School has been declared as a local intake school. The local intake boundary is gazetted by the State Government. Details of the Local Area Intake Boundary, the Priorities for Enrolment and a copy of the Local Area Intake Boundary Map are available here.

 

If my brother or sister is already here, do I get in as well?

 

Due to demand from within the intake area sibling enrolments can not be guaranteed. Students who live outside the local intake area, and who have siblings currently enrolled at the school (but not those siblings who gained their enrolment through a specialist program) can be offered an enrolment subject to capacity. A sibling who completes Year 12 before the student starts Year 7 is not included. If the places available is less than the number of applicants in this section, the places will be allocated on a nearest the school basis. Details of the Local Area Intake Boundary, the Priorities for Enrolment and a copy of the Local Area Intake Boundary Map are available here.
