11 MARCH 2009
NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 30
The School will establish entry criteria to ensure access by families with the highest level of need based on distance and accessibility.
Itinerancy
Child of a family whose itinerancy requires a change of licensed and/or chartered ECE service each school term.
The minimum enrolment period is 6 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 licensed and/or chartered ECE service. A written declaration to that effect will also be required.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the School will review these enrolments 6 monthly. For this review, caregivers will provide a written declaration confirming that they continue to meet the requirements of this gateway.
Referral
High health needs
Child has a long-term illness or medical condition preventing their attending a licensed and/or chartered ECE service.
Caregivers must provide, each year, a medical certificate from a medical practitioner specialising in the condition preventing attendance.
Special development needs
Child has special development needs such that no licensed and/or chartered ECE service able to meet their needs is available within a reasonable distance.
Caregivers must provide a Ministry of Education–Special Education report detailing the nature of the child’s special development needs and immediate teaching needs. This report will include verification that no locally available service is able to meet the child’s special development needs.
Special circumstances
Child does not fit any ECE gateway, however may be admitted by the School’s CEO – for example where:
(a) a sibling has a medical condition such as a bone marrow transplant preventing, for reasons of cross-infection, the child attending a licensed and/or chartered ECE service, or
(b) the child’s caregiver has a medical condition preventing attendance at a licensed and/or chartered ECE service.
