1. We intend to move into the zone later this year. Can I enrol now?
The enrolment legislation requires that you have a permanent address in zone before you enrol. Once you are living in your new address contact the school office to enrol. You are guaranteed a place at the college if you live in zone.
2. Will the college be accepting out-of-zone applications for levels other than Year 9 next year?
Unfortunately the college has a very large roll and we can not offer places at levels other than Year 9 for 2015.
3. How many out-of-zone places will be available?
The number of places is determined by our in zone intake. We expect that we will be offering approximately 100 out-of-zone places. These are determined by ballot according to the priorities set out in our enrolment scheme.
