Zone map

Year 1–8

The development and operation of enrolment schemes is undertaken under authority granted under Schedule 20 of the Education and Training Act 2020, which describes the basis on which the Secretary’s powers in relation to enrolment schemes will be exercised.

Home Zone

All students who live within the home zone described below (and shown on the map) shall be eligible to enrol at the school.

The zone includes areas to the north and south of Raglan Harbour / Whaingaroa.

  • To the south of Raglan Harbour / Whaingaroa, the zone begins at 808 Whaanga Road
    (1109 Whaanga Road is not included). From 808 Whaanga Road the boundary extends west to the coast, and follows the coast north and eastward to a point directly north of 4059 Main Road (SH 23).
  • Addresses on Main Road above number 4059 are included in the zone. Okete Road, Brindle Creek Road, Three Creek Road, Naumai Road, and Centrebush Lane are not in zone.
  • South of 4059 Main Road (SH 23), Maungatawhiri Road addresses are included up to and including 187 Maungatawhiri Road.
  • From 187 Maungatawhiri Road the zone extends east and includes all addresses on Benseman Road and addresses on Te Hutewai Road up to and including 669D Te Hutewai Road.
  • From 669D Te Hutewai Road the zone extends east to 808 Whaanga Road, where the zone began.
  • To the north of Raglan Harbour / Whaingaroa, the zone includes addresses above 1036 Te Akau South Road, Mangiti Road addresses to the intersection with Rothery Road, and Rothery Road addresses on the southern side of the road.
  • Te Akau Wharf Road and Ryan Road addresses are included in the zone.

 

Note: Both sides of all streets and roads included in the above description are included unless otherwise stated.

Proof of residence within the home zone will be required.

Each year, applications for enrolment in the following year from in-zone students will be sought by a date which will be published in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. This will enable the board to assess the number of places which can be made available to students who live outside the home zone.

Level 1 Māori Language Learning (Rumaki)

Students who live within the school’s home zone will be enrolled ahead of out of zone students, up to a maximum rumaki roll determined by the school.

Criteria for Acceptance into Level 1 Māori Language Learning (Rumaki)

The procedure for determining which out of zone students will be enrolled, if there are more applicants than places available, is as follows.

Each year the board will determine the number of places likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. This information will be published in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.

Applications for enrolment will be processed in the following order of priority:

  1. First Priority: siblings of tuakana in the unit.
  2. Second Priority: children from Kohanga Reo.
  3. Third Priority: children transferring from other immersion settings.
  4. Fourth Priority: all other applicants.

If there are more applicants in the second, third, or fourth priority groups than places available, selection within the priority group will be by ballot, similar to the process used for the English Language Learning roll described in the section Out of Zone Enrolments (English Language Learning).

Each year the board will determine the number of places likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. The board will publish this information by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.

Applications for enrolment will be processed in the following order of priority:

  1. First Priority must be given to students who have been accepted for enrolment in the following special programme(s) run by the school and approved by the Secretary of Education, up to the maximum roll set for the programme: Level 1 Māori Language Learning (Rumaki).
  2. Second Priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.
  3. Third Priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.
  4. Fourth Priority will be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school.
  5. Fifth Priority will be given to any applicant who is either a child of an employee of the board of the school or a child of a member of the board of the school.
  6. Sixth Priority will be given to all other applicants.

If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth priority groups than there are places available, selection within the priority group will be by ballot, conducted in accordance with instructions by the Secretary under Schedule 20, Clause 3(1) of the Education and Training Act 2020. Parents will be informed of the date of any ballot by public notice in a medium appropriate to the area served by the school.

Applicants seeking second or third priority status may be required to give proof of a sibling relationship.
