However, we must have your response in writing as to whether you have accepted a place in the school or confirmed your position on the waiting-list within two weeks. Following the completion of the enrolment procedures, the successful applicants will be invited to meet staff and choose subjects. We will then be able to build the form classes which will constitute Year 9 2012. The Board operates an enrolment scheme to prevent overcrowding or the likelihood of overcrowding at the school. | PLEASE NOTE: All Year 9 enrolments for 2012 must be received by 5th August 2011. The Board will require proof of residency within the geographical zone. The consequence of supplying false information as to any issue, will be that the enrolment will be placed at the end of the waiting list. Parents and Caregivers are required to inform the school immediately of any change of address prior to March 2012. If that change of address affects their enrolment status, enrolment may be declined. |
