Mt Pleasant School enrolment zone

Enrolment Zones

by Ground Control

Why do we have an Enrolment Zone? School enrolment zones stop schools becoming overcrowded, and guarantee children living within any given school zone can attend their local school. Enrolment zones are determined by negotiation between the Boards of surrounding schools. See map above to view our enrolment zone.
