Enrolment Policy
This document explains who may be enrolled with The Correspondence School ("the School") from 1 February 2009 for government funded tuition.
Early Childhood Education
General
Children may be enrolled in a full-time Early Childhood Education (ECE) programme at the School where they are:
(a) New Zealand citizens or permanent residents or verified domestic students; and
(b) under the age of 6 (i.e. 5 years of age or under); and
(c) not enrolled in a primary school, or about to be enrolled within the first 2 weeks of February that year; and
(d) not enrolled for more than 2 sessions a week in a licensed and/or chartered ECE service; and
(e) within one of the following enrolment categories and fitting the criteria for a gateway where a vacancy is available.
A child ceases to be eligible for enrolment when age or changed circumstances mean that the gateway criteria under which they were enrolled are no longer met.
Priority
Children whose access to ECE is limited by their rural location and geographic isolation will normally be given first priority for enrolment.
Children approved by the School as eligible for entry but for whom a vacancy is not immediately available will have their names placed on a wait list. Wait-listed children will normally be admitted to the School in age order.
Enrolment Categories and Gateways
| Enrolment Category | Gateway | Entry Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Geographic isolation | Child of a family whose geographic location prevents attendance at a licensed and/or chartered English language medium ECE service. |
To qualify, the student’s home must be:
(a) more than 6 kilometres from a licensed and/or chartered English language medium ECE service; or
(b) located behind a geographic barrier, preventing reasonable access to a licensed and/or chartered English language medium ECE service. |
