Changed school enrolment boundaries for students 2020 

Due to increased student enrolments in and around the Parramatta area, the Department of Education will opened a new school called Bayanami Public School.

In 2019, the new school opened  for Kindergarten students from within the school's enrolment area. Click here to see a map of the Bayanami Public School catchment. 

In 2020 Bayanami Public School opened for students from Kindergarten to Year 6.

To establish a new enrolment area for Bayanami Public School, the Department of Education reviewed the current enrolment areas for Westmead Public School, Parramatta North Public School and Parramatta Public School.

 The changes do not apply to students who:

  • have a sibling enrolled in our school

Before enrolling your child you should check that you live within the Westmead Public School enrolment area.

The new changes for Bayanami Public School can be found by contacting Westmead Public School. We cannot accept enrolments from students outside of the area.

  4. The school will not accept proof of address documentation pertaining to sub-letting of rental lease agreements and/or purchase contracts for property that are not in the applicant's name. Statutory declarations regarding issues of sub-letting will not be accepted.
  5. The school will not accept non-local students and/or in-area enrolments (ie, where the lease or proof of purchase document is not in the applicant's name) as all permanent accommodation at Westmead Public School is full and there are demountable classrooms on site.
  6. However, in the event of exceptional circumstances regarding non-local and/or in-area enrolments (ie, where the lease or proof of purchase document is not in the applicant's name) a non-local expression of interest form may be given.
  7. An enrolment committee will look at all such expression of interest. This enrolment committee consists of the a senior executive, teacher representative and community representative.
  8.  A non-local expression of interest form is available upon request using set criteria. The decision to enroll or otherwise a non-local applicant and/or in-area enrolments (ie, where the lease or proof of purchase document is not in the applicant's name) will be based on the majority decision of this committee.
  9. Students who apply to enroll as non-local enrolments are considered in exceptional circumstances only. Criteria for non-local enrolments are those students with severe medical grounds and who need to attend Westmead Children's Hospital and/or have siblings attending Ronald McDonald House for extended periods of time greater than one term.
