How Applications Are Prioritised<\/h3>\n

When the school is oversubscribed, applications are prioritised using the following criteria:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Children in care or previously in care<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Siblings of current students<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Children living within the school\u2019s designated catchment area<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Children attending a partner (feeder) primary school<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Children living nearest to the school (straight-line distance)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If places are limited within one criterion, priority is given to those who also meet the next highest criterion and live closest to the school.<\/p>\n

    A random tie-breaker may be used if distances are identical (for example, applicants from the same apartment block).<\/p>\n
