The guidelines for development and operation of enrolment schemes are issued under section 11G (3) of the Education Act 1989 for the purpose of describing the basis on which the Secretary’s powers in relation to enrolment schemes will be exercised.

Home Zone

All students who live within the home zone described below (and shown on the attached map) shall be eligible to enrol at the school.

Starting where the harbour meets Springfield Road and SH 1 the zone follows the coastline to, south of Langs Beach, the Whangarei-Kaipara District Council boundary.  Turning south-west the zone follows the council boundary along the top of the Brynderwyn Hills crossing SH 1 south of number 4800 and Waipu Gorge Road at the council boundary (north of number 675).

The zone then travels across country to Finlayson Brook Road, crossing at the council boundary and following it to where it crosses Millbrook Road (west of number 1332).  From Millbrook Road the zone heads north, joining Springfield Road at the intersection with Mangapai Caves Road and Waipu Caves Road before following Springfield Road back to the starting point.

All residential addresses on included sides of the boundary roads and all no exit roads off included sides of boundary roads are included in the zone unless otherwise stated.

Out of Zone Enrolments

Each year the Board of Trustees will determine the number of places which are likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. The Board will publish this information by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.

Applications for enrolments will be processed in the following order of priority:

• First Priority: This priority is not applicable at this school because the school does not run a special programme approved by the Secretary for Education.
• Second Priority: will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.
• Third Priority: will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.
• Fourth Priority: will be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school.
• Fifth Priority: will be given to any applicant who is either a child of an employee of the board of the school or a child of a member of the board of the school.
• Sixth Priority: will be given to all other applicants.

If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth or fifth priority groups than there are places available, Selection within the priority group will be by ballot conducted in accordance with instructions by the Secretary. Under Section 11G (1) on the Education Act 1989. Parents will be informed of the date of any ballot by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school.

Applicants seeking second or third priority status may be required to give proof of a sibling relationship.
