3030 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 114 24 OCTOBER 2007

(d) providing an educational profile from the
student’s previous school.

Geographic isolation

Student is unable to attend a neighbouring school
because of its distance or inaccessibility from
their home.

To qualify, the student’s home or nearest school
bus route must be:

(a) more than 3.2 kilometres distant,
increasing to 4.8 kilometres if the student is
over 10 years of age; or

(b) located behind a geographic barrier
preventing reasonable access to a school or
school bus route.

The Ministry of Education’s School Transport
Service Agents are the confirming agencies.

Itinerancy

Student would otherwise need to change schools
each term because caregivers are itinerant.

The minimum enrolment period is six months.

Parents / caregivers must provide, at the
commencement of enrolment, an itinerary
demonstrating that they will change location at
least once per term and that each change in
location will require a change of school. A
written declaration to that effect will also be
required.

The Chief Executive Officer of The
Correspondence School will review these
enrolments six monthly. For this review,
caregivers will provide a written declaration
confirming that they continue to meet the
requirements of this gateway.

Young parents

Student is pregnant or has the primary care
responsibility for a child.

A student who is pregnant or a young parent, and
otherwise eligible for a free place in a state or
state integrated school, may self-enrol. They may
also be referred by their current or former school,
caregivers, family or whanau.

Enrolment applications for pregnant students
must be supported by a midwife’s or medical
certificate and where appropriate include an
educational report from the student’s current
school or school previously attended.
