Step One
Complete the
online enquiry form, selecting the year levels and programs for your students.
Step Two
The Deputy Principal overseeing the year level or program will review the enquiry and contact you to let you know if we have spaces available.
If you are transferring from another Queensland State School, we take this time to review your current profile, behaviour, attendance and academic grades. We will discuss these topics during the enrolment interview.
Our High Capacity, High-Performance Sport and Montessori programs all have entry and timing requirements.
Step Three
The Deputy Principals (or an Administration Officer) will invite you for an interview.
We prefer to complete enrolment interviews for the current year on a Monday, with students starting the following Monday, giving us the rest of the week to finalise timetables, advise staff of a new enrolment, and source furniture for the classroom if necessary. Enrolments for the following school year are typically conducted on a Friday.
Before the Interview
An Administration Officer will provide you with an enrolment application to complete. The Administration Officer will also organise a time to attend the uniform shop.
During the Interview
The Deputy Principal will negotiate starting dates during the interview. We prefer all students start the Monday following the interview. The Deputy Principal will also assist with subject selections (secondary), discuss the expectations at the College for students and parents, and discuss the first-day procedures.

Early Childhood Development Program (ECDP)
An ECDP is a program the Department of Education provides to support children with a disability from birth to five years. ECDPs aim to support children's early learning and help develop valuable skills children need to be successful learners now and as they transition to school.
Your child may be eligible to attend an ECDP if they have a disability (diagnosed or suspected) in one of the following six categories:
- Autism Spectrum disorder;
- Hearing impairment;
- Intellectual disability;
- Physical impairment;
- Speech language impairment or;
- Vision impairment
To be eligible, evidence of the diagnosis or suspected impairment is required for an application to attend an ECDP. Your child's paediatrician or allied health professional must provide a letter or report. For enrolment and enquiries, please contact the Head of Support Services Services at info@capalabasc.eq.edu.au
Repeating students
Students will generally repeat only Year 12. It would only be considered appropriate to repeat another year level following extensive consultation and testing. Students are provided only 24 semesters (12 years) of education. The Principal has the discretion to grant an extra two semesters where educational benefit can be demonstrated.
Year 12 repeat students would need to apply to the Principal prior to the end of the previous school year. Repeating would be approved only if a clear educational benefit is established and space is available in the required courses.
Mature age students
Requests to enrol as mature age students (nineteen years and older) are handled individually.
All persons seeking such enrolment are reminded of the special opportunities and advantages offered at the
Coorparoo Centre for Continuing Secondary Education where adult classes are held.
Evidence (reports, certificates etc) of the person's previous educational level should be brought to the interview, as well as personal references and evidence of recent work history.
