Enrolment
How do I enrol my child?
Enrolling your child is easy to do. Complete the online enrolment, or download and complete the forms on this page. Supporting documents in both cases can be emailed to the office by clicking on the submit supporting documents link, or brought in with you on the first day (we will copy for you).
The supporting documents required to enrol your child are their birth certificate or passport, and any proof of immunisation. If you are from overseas we will also need a copy of your child’s visa or residency. We CANNOT enrol a new entrant without a birth certificate or passport, these MUST be provided ahead of time or on their first day.
If you are enrolling online, please also read the Welcome Letter, and view our Skool Loop app page for information and download instructions. Skool Loop is our main method of communicating with parents.
We suggest that all new enrolments make contact with the school so that we can arrange a time to show you around the school and talk about the process of beginning with us. Visits for preschoolers are encouraged and we will arrange suitable days with you so that your child can have some classroom time prior to starting, this will help make the transition to school as smooth as possible.
Please call us if you have any questions or want to arrange a visit.

Proof of residence within the home zone will be required.
Each year, applications for enrolment in the following year from in-zone students will be sought by a date which will be published in a daily or community newspaper circulating 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 Enrolments
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 enrolment will be processed in the following order of priority:
First Priority this priority is not applicable at this school because the school does not run a special programme approved by the Secretary for Education.
Second Priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students. Third Priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.
Fourth Priority will be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school.
Fifth Priority will 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 will be given to all other applicants.
If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth priority groups than there are places available, Selection within the priority group will be by 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 seeking second or third priority status may be required to give proof of a sibling relationship.
