✨ Correspondence School Enrolment Policy
25 NOVEMBER 2009 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 170 4081
| Enrolment Category | Gateway | Entry Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Young parents | Student is pregnant or whose primary care responsibility for a child prevents school attendance. |
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 a 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. Where for confidentiality reasons this educational report cannot be obtained TCS will manage this directly with the student, their caregivers, family or whanau. After the birth the student may stay on the TCS roll until the end of the school year.
Students enrolled under this gateway who have the primary care responsibility for their child may remain enrolled as a full-time student up to and including the end of the school year in which the student turns 19 years of age. |
| Access | Overseas students
Group A | This group is for New Zealand citizens or New Zealand permanent residents who:
• will be absent from New Zealand for at least six months, and
• whose children need to continue education while overseas, and who are:
• military, diplomatic personnel or others employed by the New Zealand Government whose duties take them overseas, or
• university staff and others on sabbatical leave, or
• teachers recruited by inter-governmental, or non-governmental organisations for service overseas.
Parents/caregivers must make a written declaration that they meet the following criteria for such students to be enrolled:
• no employer subsidy towards the education of the student is provided, and
• they intend to return to New Zealand on completion of the service overseas, and
• there is no suitable local education service available.
The parent/caregiver’s employer must also verify all three criteria.
The initial application for enrolment must be made within 12 months of the departure of the family from New Zealand. There is no maximum period of enrolment.
