The Education Act gives a guarantee to students who live in the home zone specified in our Enrolment Scheme. The Board needs to be sure that an in zone address is genuine, because it is required to manage the enrolment scheme for the benefit of local students. The address given at the time of application for enrolment must be the student’s usual place of residence when the child starts at Mangaroa School. This means that if you currently live at an in-zone address but move to an out-of-zone address before your child’s first day of attendance, your child will not be entitled to enrol at the school.
Enrolment Zone Information
Mangaroa School is a popular school and the Board of Trustees is limited in the number of places it is able to offer students as a consequence of operating an enrolment scheme. All children wishing to be considered for enrolment should complete an enrolment form and lodge it with the school office as early as possible. This applies to children living in-zone and out of zone.
The order of priority for students is as follows.
All students who live within the home zone described below shall be entitled to enrol at the school. Proof of residence within the home zone is required.
Twice a year the Board will determine the number of places likely to be available in the following year for enrolment of students who live outside the home zone.
The Board will operate two enrolment periods: January – June and July – December.
Applications for out of zone enrolment will be processed in the following Ministry of Education defined order of priority:
If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth or fifth priority groups than there are places available, selection within the priority group will be by ballot. Parents will be informed of the date of any ballot.
Applicants seeking second or third priority status will be required to give proof of a sibling relationship.
If the number of applicants exceeds the places available, students unsuccessful after the ballot will be placed on a priority waiting list, should places later become available.
The Mangaroa School home zone is:
The address given at the time of application for enrolment must be the student’s usual place of residence when the school is open for instruction. This means if you currently live at an in-zone address but move to an out-of-zone address before your child’s first day of attendance at the school, your child will not be entitled to enrol at the school of right.
The Ministry of Education has advised that parents should be warned of the possible consequences of deliberately attempting to gain unfair priority in enrolment by knowingly giving a false address, or making an in-zone living arrangement which is intended to be only temporary, for example:
If, after a student has been accepted but before attendance begins, the Board has reasonable grounds for believing that a given in-zone address will not be a genuine ongoing living arrangement, the Board may withdraw any offer of a place made on the basis of that address.
After attendance has begun, if the school learns that a student is no longer living at the in-zone address given at the time of application, or has not lived at that address on an ongoing basis, and has reasonable grounds to believe that a temporary in-zone residence has been used to unfairly gain priority in enrolment, the Board may review the enrolment. Unless the parents/caregivers can give an explanation satisfactory to the Board within 10 days, the Board may annul the enrolment. This course of action is provided for under section 110A of the Education Act 1989.
Please note all in-zone students should have their application for enrolment in by the closing date to guarantee an immediate place.
A copy of this information will be given to all parents applying to enrol their child. A signed copy will be attached to each application for enrolment. Please note that by signing this information you are indicating that you understand the zoning status and are making a true declaration of your child’s in-zone/out-of-zone status.
