THE NEWLANDS COLLEGE ENROLMENT SCHEME HAS BEEN FORMALLY APPROVED BY THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND THE NEWLANDS COLLEGE BOARD.

1.1 All students who live within the home zone described below shall be entitled to enrol at the school.

1.2 The Home Zone of Newlands College is defined as follows:

1.2a) The suburbs of Grenada Village, Hunters Hill, Paparangi, Newlands, Woodridge and Bellevue:

• Bounded to the west and south by State Highway One motorway.
• Bounded to the north of Grenada Village, on a line extending from State Highway One motorway to State Highway Two motorway.
• Bounded to the east by State Highway Two motorway.

Proof of residence within the Newlands College home zone will be required.

1.3 Each year, applications for enrolment in the following year from in-zone students will be sought by a date which will be published in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. This will enable the Board to assess the number of places which can be made available to students who live outside the home zone.

2. OUT OF ZONE ENROLMENTS

2.1 Each year the Board will determine the number of places, if any, which are likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone.  Acceptance of these enrolments will be subject to such factors as the optimum total roll of each school, or the number of applicants from within the school's home zone.

For applications for places in Year 9 in 2025, an application must be received no later than Wednesday 24 July 2024.

For applications for places in Years 10-13 in 2025, an application must be received no later than Monday 14 October 2024.

2.2 Applications for enrolment, as covered by the Education Amendment Act 2000 will be processed in the following order of priority:

• First Priority must be given to any applicant who is accepted for enrolment in a special programme run by the school. Newlands College does not have any special programmes.
• Second Priority must be given to any applicant who is the sibling of a current student of the school.
• Third Priority must be given to any applicant who is the sibling of a former student of the school.
• Fourth Priority must be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school.
• Fifth Priority must be given to an applicant who is either a child of an employee of the Board of the school or a child of a member of the Board of the school.
• Sixth Priority must be given to all other applicants.

2.3 If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth priority groups than there are places available, selection within the priority group will be by a ballot conducted in accordance with the Education Amendment Act 2000.

If a ballot is required for Year 9 students, the ballot will be held on Monday 29 July 2024. Parents will be informed of the outcomes of that ballot within three school days of the ballot being held. Parents will have 14 days to respond to any offer of a place.

If a ballot is required for Years 10-13 students, the ballot will be held on Friday 18 October 2024. Parents will be informed of the outcomes of that ballot within three school days of the ballot being held. Parents will have 14 days to respond to any offer of a place.

2.4 Applicants seeking second or third priority status will be required to give proof of a sibling relationship, preferably by means of the appropriate birth certificates.
