Pre school visits

Two weeks prior to your child’s fifth birthday your child will be invited to visit the new entrant class to:

• see the room that the child will be starting school in
• meet the teacher
• meet the students in the class
  
• find out where the toilets and cloak bays are
  
• be introduced to some of the routines of the classroom programme

The school visits are held on Friday mornings from 9-11am. The child can come in mufti or wear school uniform and we ask that you pack them a healthy snack for morning tea. If your child is settled and confident, you may leave your child the last pre-school visit. Children participating in a pre-school visit are able to stay for interval as long as their parent stays in the playground with them.

Each year, applications for enrolment for the following year from in-zone students will be sought by a specific date, which will be published in a daily or community newspaper circulated in the area served by the school. This will enable the board to assess the number of places, which can be made available to students who live outside the home zone.

Out of zone

Each year the board will determine the number of places, which are likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. The board will publish this information by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.

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

• First priority must be given to students who have been accepted for enrolment in the following special programme(s) run by the school and approved by the Secretary for Education*.
• Second priority must be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.
• Third priority must be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.
• Fourth priority must be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school.
• Fifth priority must be given to 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.
• Sixth priority must be given to all other applicants.

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

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 a ballot conducted in accordance with instructions issued by the Secretary for Education under Section 11G(1) of the Education Act 1989. Parents will be informed of the date of any ballot by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulated in the area served by the school.
