Out of Zone Enrolment

OUT OF ZONE ENROLMENT 

2026 Notice

Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available from the school office.

The board has determined that the below places are likely to be available for out- of-zone Auraki students and our approved special programme for Māori Medium education next year. The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next year there will be 4 enrolment periods. 

Enrolment period 1: Term 1 2026

Enrolment period 2: Term 2, 2026

Enrolment period 3: Term 3, 2026

Enrolment period 4: Term 4, 2026

For students wanting to start in Term 1, the deadline for applications for out-of-zone places is 8th October 2025. 

Parents of students who live within the home zone and intend enrolling their child at any time during the next year should notify the school by Wednesday the 8th October to assist the school to plan appropriately for next year. Click here to go to our online enrolment form or visit the school office.

If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot (except in the case of special programmes, where the criteria in the enrolment scheme apply). If a ballot for out-of-zone places is required, it will be held on Wednesday 15th October.

Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held.
