However, for the past eight years the demand for places at Year 7 has outstripped places available. To manage the demand for places and manage the overall size of the school, DEECD guidelines must be followed in processing the Application for Enrolment forms. <br />(Note: These are the same guidelines that apply to other schools with enrolment ceilings - such as Brunswick SC and Princes Hill SC)<br /><br />Applications for entry to Northcote High School are processed in the following priority order:<br /><br />Students for whom Northcote High School is geographically the closest school (in a straight line measurement, front gate to front gate, or &quot;as the crow flies&quot;). This means the school is the nearest Government secondary school to the permanent place of their parent(s) and/or primary carer(s), being also the residence of the student for the majority of the time when the application for enrolment is made. Proof of residential status may be required*. <br /><br /><br />Students who have a brother or sister already attending the school, who reside at the same permanent residential address, and who will be concurrently enrolled in the school in 2009. <br />(Please note that the school may not be able to immediately accept late sibling claims)<br /><br /><br />Students who seek enrolment on specific curriculum grounds. <br />2010 Curriculum Claim form (click here to download) <br /><br /><br />Any remaining places will be allocated on the basis of proximity of residence to the school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-919635569697925708.post-87003825031039079122009-09-10T12:21:24.618+10:002009-09-10T12:21:24.618+10:00&quot;they have the right to choose any other school in which space is available.&quot;<br /><br />Darren let me think which schools are capped - Northcote, Brunswick and Strathmore. Why are they capped because there is more demand than spaces. Once the kids are outside the zone than they can be chosed on curriculum ground and they will choose girls. Leaving all the boys behind just like what happened with Moreland City College.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
