Procedure for students requiring supported enrolment: Enrolment Application and Support Procedure (EASP)

This process seeks to reveal and clarify the needs of the student and to identify the educational ​adjustments required to access learning. Adjustments are made for students with a disability to enable them to access the curriculum, achieve curriculum outcomes and participate in school life on the same basis as their peers. An adjustment is any change made to help a student participate at school, learn, and be comfortable and safe.

The Enrolment Application and Support Procedure may also be used to support the enrolment of students who have been identified as gifted. EASP Procedures Flow Chart.pdf 

Further information on supported enrolment at BCE schools is available on the BCE website via this link.

If you have any questions or need assistance with the enrolment of your child, please do not hesitate to contact the Enrolment Secretary, Sharon Dickson on 07 3488 7791 or enrolments@carmelcollege.qld.edu.au.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Carmel Family.
