We understand that the process of enrolling in school is an important one. As a result, we have created an Enrolment Application Booklet for Year 7 in 2025 which parents and caregivers are able to download from the KSHS website.

This comprehensive booklet includes all of the important documentation you need to supply, including the standard Education Queensland Enrolment Form as well as a number of other consent and agreement forms that must be completed as part of your enrolment. The enrolment checklist at the back of the Enrolment Application Booklet for Year 7 in 2025 will ensure parents and caregivers have completed and signed all consent and agreement forms and have copies of all required supporting documentation to submit at an enrolment interviews on Saturday 1 June. All enrolment applications will be considered as received on Saturday 1 June. 

If applying for the limited remaining places in a Program of Excellence (Music Extension, Ken-X, German Immersion), the Program of Excellence Enrolment Guide gives a step by step guide to the unique application process for each program and what additional documents and processes are required to accompany the Enrolment Application Booklet for Year 7 in 2025.
