Question 10: How do you register for the new school?

Response 10: If your child is currently at one of the holding zone areas, we’ll automatically do that registration for you in the year the school opens. There will be nothing for you to do. You will not have to re-register your child.

Question 9: If there’s no playground, will children be allowed to play at the park next door?
