  • You can apply for up to 3 schools.
  • Put the schools in order of preference.
  • It’s in your best interest to list 3 schools.
  • Naming only one school does not guarantee your child a place at that school or give your child priority for a place over another child.
  • You are not able to name the same school more than once.
