ACT Student?
Hawker College welcomes students who live in our Priority Enrolment Area (PEA), which includes the suburbs of Hawker, Higgins, Holt, Page, Scullin, Strathnairn, Weetangera and Whitlam. This does not, however, preclude any student wishing to enrol from any other ACT High School.
Students not in our PEA have been successful in applying to our college from all high schools throughout the Canberra region. If you are in this position it is important to give a rationale for the request ensuring that your claims address the criteria for placement with us. These are outlined in the placement procedures and are as follows:
- If you have legal considerations, where a court order states that a student needs to attend a specific school
- If there are individual circumstances, based on student wellbeing, that mean that your child cannot attend their local school and must attend the school they have applied for.
- Subject to capacity, the school will enrol your child if they have an ACT-resident sibling attending that school at the same time.
- Student is an ACT resident seeking to access a curriculum choice(s) not available at their PEA school.
- Student is an ACT resident from a designated high-demand PEA.
- Student lives in NSW and has a sibling attending the school at the same time.
