You can enrol for entry to Witherlea School at anytime however we do ask that parents who have siblings already attending they do this is as early as possible before the child starts school. For new people to our community at least 6 months – 1 Year prior to start date is preferable as this ensures we have arranged the school and classes for the following year. If you have just arrived in Marlborough or shifted then as soon as you know you are in zone and wish to start school.
We are a zoned school therefore only enrol students who live in the Witherlea School Zone or who get offered a space through our Ballot Process (this only occurs if there is space via the Witherlea School Board meetings which is decided in September each year and does not automatically extend to siblings).
