OUT OF ZONE ENROLMENT

The School Board has determined that 75 places are available for Year 9 Out of Zone Category 6 students for 2024.

Out of Zone Enrolment is based on the following priority categories defined by the Education Act:

  • Category 3: Applicants who are brothers or sisters of former students
  • Category 4: Applicants who are children of former students
