Important information about the Bellevue School enrolment scheme (zone)

If you have pre-schoolers at home that you are planning to enrol at Bellevue School in the future, here are a few important things to know and put into action:
 

If you are living outside of the Bellevue School enrolment zone, then your pre-schooler(s) will need to be processed as an out of zone application.  Please let us know, if you haven’t already, of any future enrolments at Bellevue School from your family.  It helps greatly with our planning to know well in advance.  And if we know then we can also prompt you as to when you need to get your out of zone application in.

It is very important that out of zone applications are received by the application deadline which is published both in our newsletter (also available on this site) and in the Independent Herald.  You can also contact the school office to find out the deadline dates (number below). We cannot accept any out of zone applications if they are not received by the deadline advertised for the enrolment period your child is due to start school in.  The deadline can sometimes be up to six months prior to your child actually starting school.

Even if your pre-schooler(s) are in zone, please get your paperwork in to us as soon as possible to enable us to plan ahead.  We need this information to be able to work out how many out of zone applications we can accept in each enrolment period.

If you have any questions or are unsure about anything, please call or come into the school office and talk to Amanda.

Bellevue School Enrolment Scheme

Bellevue School 2806

Effective 28 January 2019

Enrolment Scheme

The guidelines for development and operation of enrolment schemes are issued under section 11G (3) of the Education Act 1989 for the purpose of describing the basis on which the Secretary’s powers in relation to enrolment schemes will be exercised.

Purpose and Principles

1. To avoid overcrowding or the likelihood of overcrowding at the school; 

2. To ensure that the selection of applicants for enrolment at the school is carried out in a fair and transparent manner; and 

3. To enable the Secretary to make best use of existing networks of State schools. 

In achieving its purpose, an enrolment scheme must, as far as possible, ensure that:

1. The scheme does not exclude local students: and 

2. No more students are excluded from the schools than is necessary to avoid overcrowding.
