Appendix 2 - Draft Notices

Draft of newspaper notice indicating that an enrolment scheme has been adopted

In order to deal with a situation where the school has, or is likely to have, more applicants for enrolment than there are places available at the school, the board of <school name> has adopted an enrolment scheme which has been approved by the Ministry of Education.

Under this scheme, first priority on enrolment places will be given to preference students for whom the school is reasonably convenient. A description of how "reasonably convenient" is defined is contained in the scheme.

The enrolment of non-preference students is governed by the school's Integration Agreement.

The enrolment scheme, which includes a description of the criteria that will apply to the selection of students in situations where there are more applications than there are places available, may be viewed at the school office (or some other appropriate place within the school), where copies of the scheme are also available.

<Insert details of how applications are to be made.>
