Enrolment at Pillans Point School

School enrolment zones stop schools from getting overcrowded, and give children who live in the school area (the zone) a guarantee that they can go to their local school.

Home Zone

All students who live within the home zone described below (and shown on the attached map) shall be eligible to enrol at the school.

All children whose usual place of residence or who come to reside in the defined geographical area are entitled to enrol at Pillans Point School.

The geographical area is defined by the line on the attached map which indicates a half way distance by road to the neighbouring schools.

Out of Zone Enrolments

Each year the Board of Trustees 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 enrolments will be processed in the following order of priority:
