Overview
Enrolment schemes are needed to help manage enrolments across schools. This allows boards to manage the risk of overcrowding, provides a fair and transparent process for enrolment and ensures we are making the best use of schooling facilities across the area.
Purpose and principles of an enrolment schemes – New Zealand Legislation
Help us understand
Enrolment schemes mean that all families will have entitlement to attend a school that is reasonably convenient to them but won’t necessarily have the same entitlement to enrol at all state schools.
All students who are already enrolled at a school before a home zone is implemented or changed are entitled to stay at their current school.
It is important that we hear and understand community perspectives before we establish this new enrolment scheme at Hope School, especially the design and practical implications of the home zone.
This consultation process is about enrolment schemes, which determines the entitlement to enrol. It is important to note that a student’s eligibility to enrol may be different to their eligibility for school transport assistance.
