Out of zone enrolments

Each term the board will determine the number of places which are likely to be available in the following term for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. The board will publish this information by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.


Applications for out of zone enrolments for Term 3, 2010, close on 5th May.  In line with Ministry practise, a ballot will only be held only where surplus places are available for new students.


Applications for enrolment will be processed in the following order of priority:

First Priority      This priority category is not applicable at this school because the school does not run a special programme approved by the Secretary.

Second Priority   will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.

Third Priority      will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.

Fourth priority    will be given to applicants who are children of board employees.

Fifth priority       will be given to all other applicants.

If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth, or fifth priority groups than there are places available, selection within the priority group will be by a ballot conducted in accordance with instructions issued by the Secretary under Section 11G(1) of the Education Act 1989. Parents will be informed of the date of any ballot by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school.

Applicants seeking second or third priority status may be required to give proof of a sibling relationship.
