This means that children who live within the school intake area are given preferential enrolment rights. Usually each class is filled entirely by 'local intake' students. Applications for enrolment should be made during term 3. The school commenced in 1921. It is set on a small area of ground in a residential area and the buildings follow a traditional design. Space is at a premium as the school only occupies an area half the preferred size.
