Registration - Search
Help on this page
All students must now apply to enrol at a NSW government school. The term registration is used to describe the process of initial student application through to them being accepted (or rejected) for enrolment at a school.
The registration process involves a state-wide search of students who match the identity of the student applying for enrolment; schools have to be meticulous when completing the registration process so that if the student already exists their record is maintained under the same Student Registration Number (SRN); or if they don’t exist then a new SRN is created. Duplication of students must be avoided. The SRN and student’s details are stored in a common database accessible by all schools during the registration process.
If a student leaves the state school system their information is stored so it’s available again if the student re-registers at either the same or a different school. Also, if a sibling of a current student wishes to register, specific information that is common to both students (e.g. family details) is made available to the new student’s record to simplify the registration process.
