Additional Entitlement to Enrol:
This provision has been approved under Section 75 1 (a) of the Education and Training Act 2020.
For families of currently enrolled students whose addresses become out of zone as a result of the amendment to this Enrolment Scheme.
Section 75 of the Education and Training Act
2020 states that;
"the Secretary may authorise an enrolment scheme to permit a
student to enrol at the school as if the student lived in the home
zone of the school if, -
(a) in the case of an existing enrolment scheme whose home zone
is amended, -
(i) the student lives
outside the amended home zone; and
(ii) the student has a
sibling who is enrolled at the school at the time that the
amendment is
implemented; and
(iii) the sibling, at the time
that the amendment is implemented, lives inside the home zone as it
was
before the
amendment; and
(iv) the student, at the time of
enrolment, lives inside the home zone as it was before the
amendment;
If applying for enrollment under this part of the Enrolment Scheme, the sibling's name and evidence of a sibling relationship may be required by the school.
Sectiion 75 of the Education and Training Act 2020 sets out the definition of a "sibling" for these purposes.
The school will maintain a list of students enrolled at the time of the implementation of the enrolment scheme change by the Board in order to enable determination of eligibility to enrol under this provision.
Note: That this is a very tightly defined
definition. It would not apply to:
1. Children who move into
the withdrawal area after the implementation of the enrolment
scheme
boundary
amendment; or
2. Children of families
/ whānau who move out of the old zone after the implementation of
the
enrolment
scheme boundary amendment.
Out of Zone Enrolments:
Applications for enrolments will be processed in the order of priority specificed in the Education and Training Act 2020.
Before the application deadline associated with each
pre-enrolment period, a Board must, by publc notice in a medium
appropriate to the area served by the school;
- confirm the already advertised dates for the receipt of
applications and for the holding of the ballot
- state the likely number of out of zone placed that remain
available.
If there are more applicants in any priority group than there are places available, selection within the priority group will be by ballot conducted in accordance with instructions by the Secretary, under Schedule 20, Clause 3 (1) of the Education and Training Act 2020. Parents will be informed of the date of the ballot by public notice in a medium appropriate to the area served by the school.

The guildelines for development and operation of enrolment schemes are issued under Schedule 20, Clause 3 (3) of the Education and Training Act 2020 for the purpose of describing the basis on which the Secretary's powers in relation to enrolment schemes will be exercised.
