Mansfield State High School has a strong commitment to students who reside in our local catchment area. Under the Enrolment Management Plan, priority will be given to the enrolment of students who reside in the local catchment area. You are required to provide proof that you are a permanent resident within the catchment area.
If the Executive Principal is not satisfied that the documentation provided by an applicant adequately demonstrates that the address stated is the student’s principal place of residence, then the Executive Principal may request further sources of proof of residence.
Local catchment area students will be enrolled after:
- attending an open day
- submitting an application
- attending a scheduled group conference for enrolment with the Executive Principal.
Programs of Excellence
Students who reside in the local catchment area may apply for a position in one or more Programs of Excellence. Entry to a Program of Excellence is merit based, and students applying must have school reports that reflect continued excellence in academia, behaviour and effort.
Entry into a Program of Excellence is available for Year 7 students only, except for the Instrumental Music Program of Excellence, which is available for any year level, subject to availability.
Applications for entry into the Program of Excellence Year 7 2026 close on Friday 30 May 2025.
