✨ Education Enrolment Criteria
NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 35
2 APRIL 2014
| Enrolment Category | Gateway | Entry Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Itinerancy | Students would otherwise need to change schools each term because caregivers are itinerant. The minimum enrolment period is six 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.
Children supported in a refuge environment are classified an "itinerant" as their living arrangements are tentative.
Te Kura will review these enrolments six-monthly, and share any information about the status of students with the relevant Ministry of Education local office. For this review, caregivers will provide a written declaration confirming that they continue to meet the requirements of this gateway and an updated itinerary. Te Kura may request additional supporting documentation (eg, from an employer) to confirm itinerancy. |
| Access | Young parents | Student is pregnant or whose primary care responsibility for a child prevents school attendance.
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 a school, caregivers, family or whanau.
Enrolment applications for pregnant students must be supported by a midwife’s or medical certificate or letter from Work & Income or Ministry of Social Development 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, Te Kura will manage this directly with the student, their caregivers, family or whanau. After the birth, the student may stay on the Te Kura 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.
