​​Applications for Prep 2027 in-catchment enrolments opened at 9.00am on 23 February 2026, the year prior to intended enrolment. 

All catchment enrolment applications will only be accepted after producing proof of residency documentation (see required supporting documentation below) and your child's birth certificate.  Please submit your completed Enrolment Pack with​​​​​ supporting documents to the Enrolment Officer via email to  enrolments@eaglejunctionss.eq.edu.au

N.B  Enrolment applications only remain valid for the year applied for.

Required Supporting Documentation

Students whose principal place of residence is within the school's catchment area are entitled to enrol, subject to the Education Act. Places are reserved for students who move into the catchment throughout the school year.

Required proof of residency

Parents or legal guardians must provide one document from each category:

Primary document — provide one:

  • Current rental or lease agreement
  • Current rates notice
  • Unconditional contract of sale

Secondary document — provide one:

  • Current electricity or gas bill

Both documents must show the in-catchment address and the parent or legal guardian's name.

A statutory declaration does not ordinarily replace these required documents. In exceptional circumstances, the Principal may approve a properly sworn statutory declaration in place of one required document. Approval is at the Principal's discretion, and further evidence may be requested.

Additional verification

If the documents do not adequately establish that the address is the student's principal place of residence, the Principal may request additional evidence, including:

  • Further utility bills or consecutive bills showing ongoing residency
  • Electoral roll verification
  • A mobile phone statement
  • A driver's licence
  • A bank statement or tax assessment notice (financial details may be concealed)
  • Evidence of a recent move, such as the sale or termination of the lease for the previous residence
  • A properly sworn statutory declaration

Students living with another person

If a student will live with a relative or another person within the catchment, the following must also be provided:

  • A properly sworn statutory declaration from the student's parent or legal guardian; and
  • A properly sworn statutory declaration from the person with whom the student will reside.

The Principal may request further evidence and interviews with the relevant parties to confirm the living arrangement.

Providing false or misleading information about a student's principal place of residence may constitute an offence and may be reported to police. The Principal may also withdraw an enrolment decision made on the basis of false or misleading information.​

Proof of Child's Age and Identity

  • 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)​.
