✨ Special Education Enrolment Policy
11 MARCH 2009 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 30
Special education needs
State, and state integrated (other than special schools), independent schools and government institutions.
YEARS 1–8
Year 1–8 students whose home school is unable to provide the specialist programming or curriculum adaptation appropriate to the student’s assessed special education needs.
At the discretion of the School’s CEO, enrolments will be accepted where:
(a) the programme developed in association with the School contributes to:
- overcoming barriers to achievement as identified through the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP); and
- the inclusion of the student in the home school; and
(b) the application includes a statement by the home school on the assistance already provided for the student; and
(c) the IEP is not more than 6 months old at the time of enrolment at the School; and
(d) the student has high health needs that prevent attendance at a neighbouring school.
Enrolling schools are expected to undertake a programme of development leading to the school being able to independently provide for the student’s needs.
Applications to re-enrol students for a successive year are subject to the School CEO’s approval.
Reapplications must identify:
(a) the gains made against the student’s IEP from the earlier enrolment; and
(b) the specific achievement and inclusion goals the enrolling school is seeking from a further enrolment.
Special education needs
State, state integrated Special Schools and government institutions.
Special Schools and government institutions
In addition to the above criteria, dual enrolment applications for year 1–13 students from Special Schools and Government Institutions will only be considered on clear evidence that the enrolment is essential to the student’s learning circumstances; and
(a) the special school or government institution does not have the capability to meet the learning needs identified; and
(b) the capability required is beyond what could reasonably be expected of the special school.
Applications must be supported by:
(a) a Section 9 Agreement for enrolment in the Special School; and
(b) a current IEP (no more than 6 months old).
