Enrolment Scheme

Home Zone

The geographic area described in the scheme shall stand fast and shall operate as the school's home zone, under Section 11D of the Education Act 1989. A copy of the home zone is available from the school office (or at www.schoolzones.co.nz).

All students living in the home zone are entitled to enrol at the school at any time.

Out Of Zone Enrolments

All sections of the scheme relating to the selection of students who live outside the geographic area (i.e. the home zone) described in the scheme are deleted and are replaced by the requirements of Section 11F of the Education Act 1989 and the instructions issued by the Secretary under Section 11G(1) of the Education Act 1989.

Applications for enrolment will be processed in the following order of priority:

  1. First Priority
    This priority category is not applicable at this school because the school does not run a special programme approved by the Secretary.
  2. Second Priority
    This will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.

  3. Third Priority
    This will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.

  4. Fourth Priority
    This will be given to applicants who are children of Board employees.

  5. Fifth Priority
    This will be given to all other applicants.


If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth or fifth priority groups than there are places available, selection within the priority group will be by a ballot conducted in accordance with instructions issued by the Secretary under Section 11G (1) of the Education Act 1989. Parents will be informed of the date of any ballot by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school.

Enrolment

An application form is included with this Prospectus. The completed form should be returned to the school on or before Friday 31 July 2009. Inquiries concerning enrolments or related matters should be made to the Principal (telephone 03 325 2121).

In October, interviews are conducted by the Principal or a senior member of staff. These interviews are arranged through the School Office.

Subject choice and any other questions or problems are discussed at these interviews.

Open Evening

The school holds an open evening in May/June of each year. Prospective students and their parents or caregivers are invited to look over the school and to hear about the school's activities and courses.
