✨ Correspondence School Enrolment Policy
11 MARCH 2009 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 30 791
(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 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 school. A written declaration to that effect will also be required.
The School’s CEO 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.
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.
Where for confidentiality reasons this educational report cannot be obtained, the School will manage this directly with the student, their caregivers, family or whanau.
After the birth, the student may stay on the School’s 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.
