Junior College

Effective from Term 1 2027

The development and operation of enrolment schemes is undertaken under authority granted under Schedule 20 of the Education and Training Act 2020, which describes 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 shall be eligible to enrol at the school.

Starting at the corner of Ormiston Road and Te Irirangi Drive, the zone travels south down Te Irirangi Drive then south on Hollyford Drive, only including odd numbered addresses/the eastern side of both roads. The zone turns east into Redoubt Road, only including even numbered addresses/the northern/western side of the road (167- 231 Redoubt Road are also in-zone).

After 596 Redoubt Road, the zone travels west across country to Murphys Park Drive, north along Kōura Road, east along Karamū Street, and south along Ngā Pona Toru Road back to Murphys Park Drive (both sides of all roads included). The zone travels to the intersection with Murphys Road, then west overland to the end of Bushfield Drive. It travels west down Bushfield Drive, then north and west up Tannaghmore Drive, Gurtin Road, Cloonlyon Drive, Drumaness Road, and north into Downpatrick Drive. At the intersection, the zone travels west down Castlebane Drive, only including even addresses/the south side of the road. To the east, even Castlebane Drive addresses down to and including 34 and all Bunbeg Crescent addresses are in-zone.

The zone turns southwest down Hikuawa Road, west on Drumconnell Drive and Carrick Glen Avenue, and north into McKittrick Avenue (both sides of all roads included). Ksenia Drive addresses up to number 66/33, Broadhurst Road addresses up to number 32/43,
Quattro Avenue addresses up to 12/13, and Slipper Avenue addresses are in-zone. At the roundabout, the zone travels west down Broadhurst Road (both sides of the road included), then north up Chapel Road (only even addresses/west side of the road included). It turns west onto Ormiston Road, only including odd addresses/the south side of the road, and returns to the corner of Ormiston Road and Te Irirangi Drive.

Note: Both sides of all streets and roads included in the above description are included unless otherwise stated.

Proof of residence within the home zone will be required.

Each year, applications for enrolment in the following year from in-zone students will be sought by a date which the school will publish. This will enable the board to assess the number of places which can be made available to students who live outside the home zone.

Special Programmes

The school does not operate a special programme.

Out of zone applications

Each year the board 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 public notice 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 enrolment will be processed in the following order of priority:

• First Priority must be given to students who have been accepted for enrolment in the following special programme(s) run by the school and approved by the Secretary of Education up to the maximum rolls set for each programme (where applicable)
• Second Priority: must be given to any applicant who is the sibling of a current student of the school.
• Third Priority: must be given to any student who is the sibling of a former student of the school.
• Fourth Priority: must be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school.
• Fifth Priority: must be given to any applicant who is a child of an employee of the school’s board, or a child of a member of the school’s board.
• Sixth Priority: must be given to all other applicants.

If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth priority groups than there are places available, selection within the priority group must be by ballot conducted in accordance with instructions issued by the Secretary under Schedule 20, Clause 3 of the Education Act 2020. Parents will be informed of the date of any ballot by appropriate public notice.

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

Transitional Arrangements

For families of currently enrolled students with siblings not yet at school, whose addresses become out of zone as a result of the development amendment of this Enrolment Scheme.

Section 75 of the Education and Training Act 2020 states that,

“The Secretary may authorise an enrolment scheme to permit a student to enrol at the school as if the student lived in the home zone of the school if, –
• (a) in the case of an existing enrolment scheme whose home zone is amended, — o (i) the student lives outside the amended home zone; and
o (ii) the student has a sibling who is enrolled at the school at the time that the amendment is implemented; and
o (iii) the sibling, at the time that the amendment is implemented, lives inside the home zone as it was before the amendment; and
o (iv) the student, at the time of enrolment, lives inside the home zone as it was before the amendment:
• (b) in the case of a new enrolment scheme, the student—
o (i) lives outside of the home zone of the new enrolment scheme; and
o (ii) has a sibling who is enrolled at the school at the time that the new enrolment scheme is implemented.”

This provision has been approved for inclusion in this Enrolment Scheme for a period of years depending on year levels of school, could be as long as it takes for students at the lowest year level to move through the school.

If applying for enrolment under this part of the Enrolment Scheme, the siblings name, and evidence of a sibling relationship may be required by the school.

Section 75 of the Education and Training Act 2020 sets out the definition of a “sibling” for these purposes.

The school will maintain a list of students enrolled at the time of the implementation of the enrolment scheme and its adoption by the board to enable determination of eligibility to enrol under this provision.
