Enrolment Zone Consultation
Our school has grown rapidly over the last two years and we have been delighted to welcome new families again this year. Due to the popularity of our school, the Ministry of Education now requires us to put in an enrolment zone.
Once the zone is in place all of our current students will be classed as being in zone regardless of where you live. (We currently have children attending our school from as far afield as Tauranga. Every child currently here will be classed as in zone). Once the zone is in place we will still be able to take ‘out of zone’ students as long as we have space in our classrooms. We will ensure that priority is given to siblings of current students who are not living within the zone and to children wanting to join our Maori Immersion Unit, as this option is not provided by our neighbouring schools.
An important part of the enrolment zone process is consultation with our parents, whanau and community. Below you will find a copy of the proposed enrolment zone. It will include the area between and including Wright Road to the south and Athenree Road (with its side roads) and part of Seaforth Road to the North. We are proposing to have Otawhiwhi Marae within our zone because of the relationship we have with the Marae and to encourage children from the Kohanga Reo to enrol into our Maori Immersion Unit. If you would like to offer feedback on the proposed zone, you are very welcome to do so. There will be a box placed in the office where you can drop off your written feedback. The deadline for feedback is Friday the 7th April.
