Millner Primary School and Nightcliff Primary School priority enrolment areas review

Background

The Northern Territory Department of Education is undertaking a review of the Priority Enrolment Areas for Millner Primary School and Nightcliff Primary School with regard to the suburb of Coconut Grove.

The suburb of Coconut Grove is currently in the Priority Enrolment Area for both Millner Primary School and Nightcliff Primary School.

Proposal

The department proposes the suburb of Coconut Grove:

• is removed from Nightcliff Primary School’s priority enrolment area
• remains in Millner Primary School’s priority enrolment area on an ongoing basis.

This proposal is based on:

• enrolment numbers
• operational capacity
• geographical location
• established bus routes

Important information

Families who currently live in Coconut Grove and have children enrolled in Nightcliff Primary School will continue to be welcome to attend this school. Their siblings will be eligible to attend Nightcliff Primary School or Millner Primary School.

The principals of both Millner Primary School and Nightcliff Primary School have been consulted in the early stage of the review and are supportive of the proposed change.

Feedback

The department is seeking your feedback on the proposed changes. We want to know about any potential impacts both positive and negative on students, families, staff and school communities. Use the survey below to share your feedback.
