Out of Zone Enrolments

Each year 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 and the dates when ballots will take place.

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

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

  2. Second Priority: Will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.

  3. Third Priority: Will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.

  4. Fourth Priority: Will be given to applicants who are children of a former student.

  5. Fifth Priority: Will be given to applicants who are children of Board employees or children of Board members.

  6. Sixth 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 ballot conducted in accordance with instructions by the Secretary. Under Section 11G (1) on the Education Act 1989. Applicants seeking second or third priority status may be required to give proof of a sibling relationship.
