Public notice indicating that an enrolment scheme has been implemented.
To avoid overcrowding or the likelihood of overcrowding, the board of Kelston Girls’ College has implemented an enrolment scheme that has been developed by the Secretary for Education. Under this scheme, students will be enrolled if they live within the home zone as described here.
Prospective students who have a sibling enrolled at the school on 1st January 2023 will be treated as in-zone students for enrolment purposes.
The enrolment of out-of-zone students is governed by the provisions of the Education and Training Act 2020. The enrolment scheme, which includes a precise description of the home zone, may be viewed at the school office, where copies of the scheme are also available.
