Out-of-Home Zone Priority


Out of Zone Enrolments Applications for enrolments will be processed in the following order of priority:

  1. First priority must be given to any applicant who is the sibling of a current student of the school. 
  2. Second priority must be given to any student who is the sibling of a former student of the school. 
  3. Third priority must be given to any applicant who is the child of a former student of the school. 
  4. Fourth priority must be given to any applicant who is a child of an employee of the school’s board or a child of a member of the school’s board. 
  5. Fifth priority must be given to all other applicants.  

Before the application deadline associated with each pre–enrolment period, a Board must, by public notice in a medium appropriate to the area served by the school:

  • Confirm the already advertised dates for the receipt of applications and for the holding of the ballot.
  • State the likely number of out-of-zone places that remain available.

If there are more applicants in any priority group than there are places available, selection within the priority group will be by a ballot conducted in accordance with instructions by the Secretary, under Schedule 20, Clause 3 (1) of the Education and Training Act 2020. Parents will be informed of the date of any ballot by public notice in a medium appropriate to the area served by the school. Applicants may be required to give proof of address or sibling relationship.
