OUR LOCAL AREA INTAKE
Esperance Primary School's Local Area Intake, otherwise known as the "school catchment" can be viewed in Pink on the Map below. A complete written definition of our school's local intake area as per the Government Gazette (Dec 2000) can be found on the Department of Education website. You can download your own copy of the Local Area Intake Map PDF here.
The boundary for Esperance Primary School also includes the following school bus routes: Caitup, Gibson, Dalyup, Lort and Helms / Pink Lake. Please note, approval to travel as a complimentary passenger on any of these buses does not entitle a child to attend Esperance Primary School.
Students who reside outside the catchment area may apply for enrolment but must provide a letter addressed to the Principal supporting their application. An enrolment application does not guarantee your child a place at Esperance Primary School. All applications are considered and selections are made in line with the Department of Education's selection criteria. Applications are ranked according these selection criteria, in the following order:
PRIORITY 1 - Children whose:
- usual place of residence is in the intake area for the school;
- who will have a sibling enrolled at the school for that year;
- and lives nearest the school.
PRIORITY 2 - Children whose:
- usual place of residence is in the intake area for the school;
- who does not have a sibling enrolled at the school for that year;
- and lives nearest the school.
PRIORITY 3 - Children whose:
- usual place of residence is not in the intake area for the school;
- who does have a sibling enrolled at the school for that year;
- and lives nearest the school.
PRIORITY 4 - Children whose:
- usual place of residence is not in the intake area for the school;
- who does not have a sibling enrolled at the school for that year;
