Enrolling at our School
Eagle Junction State School is an enrolment managed school. All students who reside within the local catchment area have a right to enrol all year round. If there are available spaces within our school facilities, the Principal may decide to open out-of-catchment enrolments. There are four steps to enrolment:
1. Check your home address on Department of Education, catchment area map to determine your local school. If you are in the Eagle Junction State School catchment area follow step two.
If you are outside of our catchment area you should enrol at your nearest State School. If you wish to be added to the Eagle Junction State School out-of-catchment waiting list please see Out-of-catchment Enrolments below.
2. Read our Enrolment Management Plan. The enrolment management policy of Eagle Junction State School is a tool to assist in managing enrolments. This is necessary given the growth in the school over recent years, the projected future enrolments and the capacity of the Eagle Junction State School facilities. This policy applies to all students.

- Original birth certificate - the purpose of a birth certificate is not only to verify the child's details (ie age and identity), but also to establish that the person applying for the enrolment is a parent of the child, and therefore eligible and obliged to enrol them
- Passport (if the child is born overseas)
- Visas for Parents and Child (if applicable)
- International Passport Holders - the student's passport, visa and an "Authority to Enrol" email from Education Queensland International (EQI)
