In-zone

To find out if your property is in-zone please select the link on the previous page.

Students who live in the Westlake Girls High School zone may enrol at the school as of right, provided:

• They are entitled to a state education
• They live in-zone as their main residence, with a parent or legal guardian

Applicants must first complete the Online Enrolment Form and submit the requested documentation. Once the school is satisfied that the enrolment criteria have been met, the student and parent/caregiver will be invited by email to book an Enrolment Interview with senior staff.

You will receive the email from the school within 7 days after you have submitted your Online Enrolment Form.

Please note that “living in the school zone” means a student has her main residence in the school zone. The school will not accept the temporary transference of guardianship to someone living in-zone as evidence that a student is living in zone.

We will only accept the following evidence of residence in-zone:

If you are renting

• A copy of a lease agreement for a rental property whereby the agreement is valid for 12 months, from when your daughter starts attending at WGHS, PLUS
• A recent utility bill (power, contents insurance, landline/broadband) PLUS
• A copy of your bond receipt letter from Tenancy Services confirming lodgement of the bond (ph 0800 737 666 to request a copy)

If you own your home

• A recent rates notice: PLUS
• A recent utility bill (power, contents insurance, landline/broadband)

PLEASE NOTE:

The school may request original copies of any documents that have been uploaded as part of the enrolment process.

You must post (or hand-deliver to the main office of Westlake Girls High School) hard copies of any documents you cannot upload.

Students who hold domestic student visas must bring their original passport for sighting at the time of the interview.

If you have difficulties completing this form, please contact the Enrolment Administrator at [email protected] or +64 (9) 489 4169.

A completed online application is not a confirmation of enrolment at the school.  Following the submission of all the required documentation, we will contact you to invite the student and parent(s)/legal caregiver(s) to an enrolment interview with a member of senior management in August.

We look forward to receiving your application and meeting with you soon.
