✨ Special Needs Enrolment Policy
NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 30
11 MARCH 2009
The duration of the enrolment is to be specified in the student’s IEP.
Enrolments will be reviewed annually to confirm their appropriateness and to identify the steps that the Special School or government institution is taking to raise its capability to meet the needs of the dually enrolled student.
Special Needs (Special Circumstances)
State, state integrated and registered independent schools and government institutions.
Year 9–13 students whose additional educational needs place them at risk of non achievement and whose home school or government institution is unable to provide the appropriate specialist programming or curriculum adaptation.
Enrolments for reasons of timetable clash are excluded as are New Zealand students on overseas cultural exchange programmes.
Some examples of enrolments that may be approved are:
(a) Student has specific learning difficulties requiring remedial teaching. The student must be two or more years below their chronological age in any of the core curriculum areas and clear evidence must be provided that the programme is essential to their circumstances. This is not intended to provide for group enrolments.
(b) Student is at risk of exclusion or expulsion, or who may otherwise qualify for full-time enrolments through the psychological or psycho-social gateway. The enrolment is intended to provide for the student’s reintegration into a local school. Documentation must show that the home school, caregivers and other stakeholders (e.g. Special Education) support the purpose of the application.
(c) Student has a demonstrated family or cultural affinity with a particular ethnic group and requires tuition in that language, including Māori where that language is not offered by their home school.
(d) Student attends an Alternative Education or Activity Centre and may enrol for up to 4 subjects.
(e) Student attends a Teen Parent Unit (TPU) or may otherwise qualify for full-time enrolment through the Young Parent gateway. The enrolment is intended to provide for the student’s continuance at a local school or TPU. Enrolment may be requested in up to 4 subjects.
(f) Student has high health needs that prevent attendance at a neighbouring school.
