Enrolling at our school

Each year, our school community is humbled by the strong demand for enrolment places in Year 7. Many of these families are drawn to our strong academic focus, our renowned music and arts programs, our innovative global citizenship and leadership opportunities and our vibrant and welcoming community. Pimlico operates  under an Enrolment Management Plan, which places certain restrictions on how many enrolments the school can take from outside our defined geographic catchment each year.

In order to provide greater certainty for families interested in joining our school community – especially those who may reside outside our catchment area – Pimlico SHS has revised its set of enrolment timelines. These changes will enable the school to confirm enrolment places at  Pimlico much earlier than has been the case in previous years.

Currently, our enrolment processes now focuses on Year 5 students rather than Year 6 as the primary point of enrolment acceptance and confirmation. This will provides families with certainty about their child’s enrolment at Pimlico from the middle of Year 5. We understand that circumstances change and we will, of course, continue to accept enrolment applications through the remainder of Year 5 and into Year 6. However, an early application assists families in securing out-of-catchment enrolment places, that are offered in order of receipt of application. Our Music Excellence Program will also continue to provide an additional mechanism for the enrolment of students outside of our catchment. 

​ I look forward to welcoming you into our school community!
