How enrolment at Westlake Boys High School works
Ministry of Education enrolment-scheme status, and what it means for an application.
Westlake Boys High 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:
- Students accepted for an approved special programme, where the school runs one
- Siblings of current students
- Siblings of former students
- Children of former students
- Children of school-board employees or board members
- 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.
