BALLOT 29 June 2022
Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available on our school website and copies are available from the school office.
The Board advises that a number of vacancies have become available at Kirkwood Intermediate School.
Because the Board operates an enrolment scheme, it is required to fill any vacant out-of-zone places by ballot in cases where there are more applications for enrolment than there are places available. The Board has determined that 10 Year 8 and 5 Year 7 students are likely to be available for out-of-zone students for enrolment from Monday 25 July 2022
Applications for out-of-zone places are now being invited for those students who will become eligible for enrolment during the period 25 July 2022 to 15 December 2022.
Please ensure enrolment applications for out-of-zone students are in by 24 June 2022.
If a ballot for out-of-zone places is required, it will be held on 29 June 2022. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held.
If you live in the home zone and you have not yet signaled your intention to enrol your child later this year, please contact the school to assist us to plan appropriately.
Please contact the school office with your enrolment enquiries 033487718 or email the school:
