School Guides – Everything You Need to Know
Glenavon School’s current enrolment scheme has been in effect since Term 1, 2022.
All students who live within the home zone described below and/or shown on the Zone map are entitled to enrol at Glenavon School.
All students who live within the Glenavon School home zone are entitled to enrol at our school.
Check if your address is in our zone
Starting at the corner of Whitney Street and New Windsor Road, the boundary travels west along New Windsor Road and then Chalmers Street until the railway line. The boundary then travels south down the railway line (addresses east of the railway line included) until Olympic Park, travelling down the eastern side of the park until 73 Wolverton Road.
The zone boundary then travels southeast along Miranda Reserve, including houses to the north of the reserve on Miranda Street and Otira Street. The boundary then follows the perimeter of Matata Street and Covic Avenue, including all houses on these roads.
The boundary then travels down Blockhouse Bay Road until Terry Street (including Blockhouse Bay Road addresses with odd numbers 199–369 and even numbers 210–468). The zone then follows Terry Street east (even addresses 2–88 only included), and then travels north along Whitney Street (even addresses 168–212 included and odd addresses 5–189 included) until New Windsor Road.
All residential addresses on included sides of boundary roads and all no-exit roads off included sides of boundary roads are included in the zone unless otherwise stated.
Proof of residence within the home zone is required.
Each year, applications for enrolment in the following year from in-zone students will be sought by an advertised date. This enables the School Board to assess the number of places that may be available for students living outside the home zone.
Glenavon School does not currently operate a special programme approved by the Secretary for Education.
Each year, the School Board determines the number of places, if any, likely to be available for out-of-zone enrolments. If places are available, information about applications, closing dates and any required ballot will be publicly advertised.
Where applications exceed the number of places available within a priority group, selection will be made by ballot in accordance with Ministry of Education requirements
If you live outside our home zone, please contact us before completing an enrolment form.
Each year, our School Board determines whether places are available for students living outside the Glenavon School zone. If places are available, applications will be advertised and processed according to the priorities within our enrolment scheme.
If there are more applications within a priority group than places available, selection will be made by ballot.
See details below to contact our enrolment team for more information.
Out-of-zone applications are processed in the following order of priority:
If applications exceed the number of places available within a priority group, selection will be made by ballot in accordance with Ministry of Education requirements.
