How enrolment at Oromahoe School works

Ministry of Education enrolment-scheme status, and what it means for an application.

Oromahoe School has an enrolment scheme, so it has a home zone. A child who lives inside that zone is entitled to enrol. Check your street address against the boundary using the zone checker above — confirm the result with the school before relying on it.

Families outside the zone can apply only when the school offers out-of-zone places for the intake they need. When applications exceed the places available, the school works through the priority groups in this order, with a supervised random ballot inside an oversubscribed group:

  1. Students accepted for an approved special programme, where the school runs one
  2. Siblings of current students
  3. Siblings of former students
  4. Children of former students
  5. Children of school-board employees or board members
  6. All other applicants

Priority is not a guarantee: if a group has more applicants than places, that group goes to a ballot and the groups below it receive nothing in that round. Read our guide to out-of-zone enrolment and ballots for the application steps, evidence and deadlines.
