New Enrolments

Those living in the school zone are entitled to a place at Kooringal High School.  Those not living in zone are entitled to apply for an out of zone place.  Such places are limited in each year so there is not a guarantee of enrolment.  All enrolments will be required to provide evidence of their place of residence such as a rate notice, electricity or gas account and to provide copies of recent reports if possible.

Uniform

The wearing of uniform reflects pride and respect and helps to prepare students for the work environment.  The Kooringal High School community strongly endorses the uniform policy.  All students are expected to wear school uniform at all times and parents are asked to assist the school with this important issue.

Details on our uniform can be found on the Kooringal High School webpage.

Footwear

Work Health and Safety applies in schools.  Footwear for students should cover the foot so No thongs or sandals!  No slip on canvas shoes!  Slip on canvas shoes or fashion shoes are flimsy and are not to be worn. 

The expected footwear for students is black school shoes that cover the foot.  Students who wear incorrect footwear will be excluded from practical classrooms.

School Closure

Please be aware that the school will close for the year at the end of Wednesday December 19^th.   This means that the school will be non-operational for December 20 and 21 and will re-open again on January 29^th next year.

The school will also be closed to all staff and visitors over the holiday period to accommodate the replacement of our upper walkway ceilings.
