Out-of-Zone Enrolments

The selection of students who live outside the geographic area (ie. the home zone) will be in accordance with the requirements of Section 11F of the Education Act 1989 and the instructions issued by the Secretary under Section 11 G (1) of the Education Act 1989.

In this school applications for enrolment will be processed in the following order of priority:

First Priority: will be given to applicants who are sisters of current students.

Second Priority: will be given to applicants who are sisters of former students.

Third Priority: will be given to applicants who are daughters of past students.

Fourth Priority: will be given to applicants who are daughters of board employees or members of the Board of Trustees.

Fifth Priority: will be given to all other applicants.

If there are more applicants in the first, second, third or fourth 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 11 G (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.

Each year the Board of Trustees will:

• Determine a period during which applications will be accepted for the following year
• Develop procedures to be followed in the application process
• Specify the information which parents may be required to supply in support of an application for enrolment for the following year

Applications will be accepted in terms of this scheme. The school retains the right to make all inquiries necessary to obtain information that may assist it to reach a decision in any particular case.
