Enrolment

Please begin your enrolment process here and ensure the enrolment form is completed prior to attending a parent orientation morning.

The Ministry of Education approves all enrolments to Sommerville school. Their current practice is that students require Ongoing Resources Scheme funding (ORS) to be eligible.

There are currently very few spaces available across the school, therefore we can only consider enrolments from families within our catchment area and if a space exists in an appropriate class for your child.

Please get in touch with us using the form below if you would like to express interest in potential enrolment or would like more information. All visits concerning enrolments need to be carried out by appointment.

A Note Regarding Photography: During enrolment, the use of your child’s visual image will be discussed. While it is necessary for Sommerville staff to photograph students for in-school purposes, parents have the right to decide if their child’s image can be used in more public formats (school website, social media, yearbook). All photos of students are in the context of learning and they will not be fully identified by name.
