Enrolment

We welcome enrolments from new entrants to year 6 children.

You are warmly invited to visit our school to discuss enrolling your child and to see what we can offer your family. Please email or call us for an appointment.

We have enrolment packs available from our school office for pick up or we can mail one out to you. There are several forms to complete for enrollment, please don't hesitate to get in contact if you have any questions or need a hand with this. We look forward to meeting you.

Harrisville School has an enrolment zone which stops at Dominion Road (near the railway).
Please contact the school office for details on the Harrisville School zone. We will be able to tell you if you live in our school zone.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Enrolment:

What is a school zone?
The Ministry of Education sets an area (zone) that controls the size of the school. If you live in the zone your children are automatically able to attend Harrisville School.

If we live in the school zone do we still need to enrol our child?
Yes. All children need to be officially enrolled at a school.
If you do this when your child is 4 - 41/2 years old we can arrange school visits to give them the opportunity to experience school before they start at 5.

What do we do if we live outside the school zone?
You would need to fill out a ballot form. Ballots occur in September/October. The school advertises prior to the ballot to let the community know which year levels have spaces for the following year.

If we already have a child at Harrisville because they were accepted by ballot, do we have to go on the ballot for their little brothers and sisters?
Yes. The rules of ballot mean that every child living outside the school zone must go through the ballot process, even if they already have a sibling at the school.

If you would like to discuss this further or get more information call into the school or give us a ring and we will be only too pleased to help you.
