Study in 2025

Out-of-Zone enrolments have closed for 2025.

In-zone applications for 2024 and 2025 are still being accepted, using the link below.

Please note you will need to have some documentation ready to attach in order to complete the application process. You will be sent an email confirming we have received your enrolment application.

Out of Zone Ballot

Each year, the Board determines the number of places likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the school zone. Once in-zone enrolment numbers are confirmed, out-of-zone applications are prioritised and drawn by ballot according to the priority list.

  • First Priority. This priority is not applicable as 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 applicants who are children of Board employees and Board members.
  • Sixth. Priority will be given to all other applicants.

A completed online application is not a confirmation of enrolment at the school.  Following the submission of all the required documentation, we will contact you to invite the student and parent(s)/legal caregiver(s) to an enrolment interview with a member of senior management in August.

We look forward to receiving your application and meeting with you soon.
