International Students’ Applications are accepted at any time, processed accordingly and students notified.

The address given at the time of application for enrolment must be the student’s usual place of residence when the school is open for instruction. This means that if you currently live at an in-zone address but move to an out-of-zone address before your child’s first day of attendance at the school, your child will not be entitled to enrol at the school as an in-zone student.

The Ministry of Education has advised that parents should also be aware of the possible consequences of deliberately attempting to gain unfair priority in enrolment by knowingly giving a false address or making an in-zone living arrangement which they intend to be only temporary eg:

Renting accommodation in-zone on a short-term basis for the purpose of providing an in-zone address.

Arranging a temporary board at an in-zone address with a relative or family friend.

Using the in-zone address of a relative or friend as an ‘address of convenience’ with no intention to live there on an ongoing basis.

If the school learns that a student is no longer living at the in-zone address given at the time of application for enrolment, and has reasonable grounds to believe that a temporary in-zone residence has been used for the purpose of unfairly gaining priority in enrolment at the school, then the Board will review the enrolment and this could result in the removal of the student from the school roll. The school has the right to, and will investigate in-zone enrolments if required. This course of action is provided for under the Education and Training Act 2020.
