✨ Correspondence School Enrolment Criteria
Enrolment Categories, Gateways and Entry Criteria
| Enrolment Category | Gateway | Entry Criteria |
|---|
| Access | Exceptional arts and sports performance | Student is an elite athlete, dancer, musician, sports person or an outstanding actor or performer whose development programme precludes attendance at a reasonably convenient school.
Enrolment applications require a letter of attestation from the formally constituted and recognised national body for the activity:
(a) attesting that the student’s exceptional attributes mean that they are likely to either represent New Zealand or develop to the top of the field for their age-group; and
(b) confirming that the programme planned for their development is appropriate and precludes attendance at a reasonably convenient school; and
(c) advising the likely duration of enrolment; and
(d) providing an educational profile from the student’s previous school. |
| Access | Geographic isolation | Student is unable to attend a reasonably convenient school because of its distance or inaccessibility from their home.
To qualify, the student’s home, nearest school bus route or nearest suitable public transport must be:
(a) more than 3.2 kilometres distant, increasing to 4.8 kilometres if the student is 10 years of age or over (private road distance does not count); or
(b) located behind a geographic barrier preventing reasonable access to a school, suitable public transport or school bus route.
The Ministry of Education’s School Transport Service Agents are the confirming agencies. |
| Access | 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 TCS Chief Executive Officer 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. |
