Enrolment interviews
We value every student and family that joins Balmoral State High School. To that end we conduct an enrolment interview for every new member of the school to ensure your needs are addressed and questions answered. This personalised enrolment interview enables the staff to review interests, capabilities and learning passions of a new student commencing with us.
The enrolment paperwork must be complete before an enrolment interview is booked. The interview takes approximately 30 minutes.
Paper copies of the enrolment forms are available from the school office.
