Prospective students whose principal place of residence is within the school's catchment area are entitled to enrol at Mansfield State High School.
Enrolments for immediate start are accepted continuously throughout the year for students who reside in the local catchment area. Future enrolments are only accepted for the next year.
Enrolment Management Plan
An Enrolment Management Plan applies at Mansfield State High School. Please refer to the Department of Education information on School Enrolment Management Plans to access information on this government policy.
The Mansfield State High School enrolment management plan and the catchment map are used to determine eligibility for enrolment. This plan does not provide for the automatic enrolment of siblings of current students.
How to enrol
All prospective students and parents are invited to attend an Open Day where they will receive further information on enrolment and a school tour. Please select the type of enrolment for further information and application forms.
Out-of-catchment applications
Enrolment of students from outside the local catchment area is restricted to ensure that enrolments do not exceed the student enrolment capacity. This school can only enrol out-of-catchment students:
- if there is sufficient spare capacity after reserving places for students who move into the catchment during the year and
- after taking into account the school's projected future enrolment growth.
Out-of-catchment students applying for enrolment at the school are placed on a waiting list, assessed in order of receipt.
