Full-time enrolment at SIDE is available to students who meet one of the following categories. The guidelines below outline how to determine enrolment eligibility for each category.
Please note Referral Applications will need to be submitted by school-based staff who are responsible for student wellbeing and support. In most cases, this will be the Deputy/Associate Principal or Student Services Program Coordinator.
Students enrolling in the Dance/Ballet Schools category must be Western Australian residents who are enrolled in a full-time SIDE partnered ballet/dance school and unable to attend mainstream school.
Students enrolling in the High-performance Arts/Sports category must be Western Australia residents entering Years 9 -12 and have exceptional sporting or performing arts commitments which prevent them from attending mainstream school.
Students enrolling in the Temporary Travel category must be Western Australian residents who are temporarily unable to attend a mainstream school because they will soon commence travel within Australia or overseas.
