Secondary Continuing Interest - July 2009
It is with regret that due to an unforeseen IT problem, the outcomes from the final run of continuing interest will not be available for viewing online today (2 July 2009) as hoped .
Letters have already been sent out to parents, where allocations have been made, and you should receive them shortly. As soon as the IT problem has been resolved all information will be available online and emails will be sent out as usual.
Sincere apologies for the inconvenience this will cause.
