Applications Outside the Pre-Enrolment Period

29. Students who live within the home zone must be enrolled.

30. In the case of applications from students who live outside the home zone, such students cannot be enrolled unless a new ballot is arranged.

Schools are likely to receive applications for enrolment at any time during the year—often (but not always) from students who have just moved into the area.

They have an entitlement to enrolment under section 11D (1). This is because enrolment at a school with an enrolment scheme is governed by the scheme, whose provisions are fixed by legislation. The board is not able to enrol a student simply because it has determined that there is spare capacity at the school. Only the board of a school without an enrolment scheme can operate in this way.

The board can, however, offer to place the student’s name in the next planned ballot or in any ballot which might later be arranged in accordance with Instruction 31.

31. If a board determines part way through the year that it has vacant places and that it would like to fill them, it must offer them to students on the relevant current waiting list, if this exists. If places still remain after doing this, or if there is no current waiting list, the board must insert a notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school stating:

• the likely number of available places, in total or at particular levels as the case may be;
• the deadline by which applications for enrolment must be received;
• the date of the ballot(s) for enrolment places.

32. Procedures in relation to this ballot are subject to Instructions 13-24.

Other Matters

33. A person whose home is outside the home zone specified in the school’s enrolment scheme but who has been accepted as a boarder for any year at the school’s hostel is deemed to be living within the school’s home zone.

This means that the person has absolute right of enrolment at the school under section 11D (1) of the Education Act 1989.

34. Ballot fee-paying students must not be included in any ballot for out of zone places.

These instructions are issued under section 11G (1) of the Education Act 1989.

Dated at Wellington this 24th day of July 2000.

HOWARD FANCY, Secretary for Education.
