Enrolment and Enrolment Scheme
Each child must be enrolled at a registered school by the time they turn six. Once enrolled, students must attend regularly.
Because the school has an enrolment scheme, the student's usual place of residence must be in the 'home-zone', or the student offered a place through an 'out-of-zone' ballot. Please contact Sandy our enrolment officer if you have any questions regarding our enrolment scheme and the application process and documents required. Information is located at the bottom of this page for 'home-zone' description and 'out-of-zone' application and ballot process.
Any child living within the 'home-zone' is entitled to be enrolled unless they have been indefinitely suspended from another school. In this case, the board of trustees will meet and consider the individual case, and either accept or decline the enrolment.
Parents are welcome to arrange an appointment to meet the principal.
Parents complete an enrolment form to provide the school with information for its database. The school completes the enrolment process. The forms, and information booklets for new parents, are available from the main office.
