This state-integrated school enrols by preference criteria, so zone rules don't apply in the same way. The map shows the school location — check the school's own enrolment scheme.
Carmel College is a state-integrated school. Places go first to applicants with a preference connection to the school's special character (for example, a faith connection), so the usual in-zone and ballot rules don't apply in the same way. Where a geographic priority exists, it works within those preference criteria. Check the school's own enrolment scheme before relying on a zone result.

How enrolment at Carmel College works
Ministry of Education enrolment-scheme status, and what it means for an application.
Carmel College is a state-integrated school with an enrolment scheme. Admission turns first on its special-character preference criteria — a religious or philosophical connection the school sets out in its own scheme — rather than on where you live. Any geographic priority applies within those criteria.
When applications from preference applicants exceed the places available, the school selects by ballot. Ask the school which preference category applies to your child and what evidence it needs. Read our guide to out-of-zone enrolment and ballots.
