Brisbane State High School has long sought to investigate issues of enrolment fraud.
“Currently gets driven back to [primary] school every day.” Brisbane State High School has a long list of documents prospective families must provide to prove they live within the catchment area.
Michelle Smith State school records, via OneSchool, showed the student was enrolled to attend their allegedly former catchment high school in 2024, but that application was withdrawn on October 12, almost two weeks before they applied to State High.
Brisbane State High has previously employed a private investigator who followed children and their parents to their home and work to weed out enrolment fraud, according to an RTI released in 2022.
