Home Zone Enrolments
Each year, applications for enrolment in the following year from in-zone students may be sought by a date which will be published by a notice in a local community newspaper and at local preschools. This will enable the board to assess the number of places which can be made available to students who live outside the home zone.Proof of residence within the home zone will be required.

Out of Zone Enrolments
Each year the board will determine the number of places, if any, which are likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. If there are places, the board will publish this information by a notice in a local community newspaper and at local preschools. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.


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