Most children have 3 visits in the time leading up to starting school. Knowing when your child will start here helps us plan for these transition visits.

OUT OF ZONE ENROLMENTS

We have two out of zone intakes per year. The School Board in collaboration with the principal will determine how many out of zone spaces there will be for each intake. 

The first intake is decided in March. This is for enrolments of students starting in Terms 3 and 4 (of the same year).
The second intake is decided in August. This is for enrolments of students starting in Terms 1 and 2 (of the following year).

If spaces are available, ballots are in held in May and September. 

Parents will be informed soon after the ballot if their application has been successful or not.
​
Ministry of Education priorities exist in deciding who is offered a place. 
​Applications for out of zone enrolment will be processed in the following order of priority:​ 
  1. Applicants who are siblings of current students
  2. Applicants who are siblings of former students
  3. Any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school
  4. Any applicant who is either a child of an employee of the Board of the school or a child of a member of the Board of the school
  5. All other applicants
If there are more applicants in any of these priority groups than there are places available, selection within the priority group will be by a ballot.
