Overview#

This change does not impact students currently enrolled at Hamilton East School.

The proposed amendment is intended to reduce overcrowding at Hamilton East School, to ensure that there is enough space at the school for all students living in-zone.

The north-eastern corner of the zone will be pulled back to Heaphy Terrace and the railway line. This section of the home zone will become part of Fairfield Primary School’s home zone.

Please have a look at the draft map and written description before you participate in the consultation process.

It’s important that we hear and understand community perspectives before we amend the enrolment scheme for Hamilton East School.

You can have your say by:

• Completing the survey: Consultation.
• Emailing: [email protected] if you have more questions or comments.

What happens next#

After consultation is finished, the Ministry of Education will collate all feedback and process this information to ensure it meets the requirements of the Education and Training Act 2020 (Schedule 20, Clause 5). If the Ministry is satisfied that the enrolment scheme amendment meets these requirements, the enrolment scheme will be finalised and provided to the Board. The school’s board must implement the finalised enrolment scheme as soon as practicable.

The amended scheme is proposed to commence from the middle of Term 2, 2025.
