The Longburn School Board of Trustees is now inviting applications from parents who wish to enrol their children at Longburn School starting within the term 1 and 2, 2023 period.  
Enrolment at Longburn School is governed by a Ministry of Education approved enrolment scheme. 
The board has identified that there will be places available for out-of-zone students within the term 1 and 2, 2023 period. The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. 
We are currently accepting applications for enrolment from both 'Within' and  'Out of'  Zone students for 2023. 
Please note, that if the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If required, a ballot will be held on the 30th of November 2022. Parents will be informed of the outcome by the 3rd of December 2022.
