Principals are calling for changes to prevent families renting properties in sought-after school zones and then moving back to the family home.

Principals at popular state schools are urging the Education Department to close a loophole that lets families move in and out of school zones to secure an enrolment.

McKinnon Secondary College principal Pitsa Binnion said the situation was exacerbating enrolment pressures at her sought-after school.“Families leave and that compounds the problem because someone else moves into their rental property,” she said. He said schools had a responsibility to look after the wellbeing of students, and it would be unfair to withdraw an enrolment once a student had started at a school.“If they have established a whole lot of social connections you couldn’t say, ‘because your parents have dodged the system you have to go'."and principals would be given greater power to limit their enrolments.

Principals are not critical of families who move out of school zones for legitimate reasons but choose to keep their child enrolled at the same school. But one principal, who did not want to be named, said these declarations were not worth the paper they were written on.

Rejected by football, Foster ponders his next moveCraig Foster is, admittedly, not everyone's cup of tea. But, over the last 12 months, his stocks have risen significantly. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when the reason you're 'not everyone's cup of tea' is because your commentary is 'intelligent and articulate'. The bloke is a legend. The ALP should be getting him in to Parliament. Otherwise make him CEO of Football Australia. Get rid of Gallop who is a prick.
