Our Enrolment Scheme

Enrolment Scheme Description

Effective from 01 March 2025

The guidelines for development and operation of enrolment schemes are issued under Schedule 20, Clause 3 (3) of the Education and Training Act 2020 for the purpose of describing 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 shall be eligible to enrol at the school. (All numbers are inclusive).

• On the northern edge, the zone runs from the Wainui Lookout east towards the northern end of Mohaka Street, the scheme continues east to the north end of Meremere Street and then south past the ends of Manuwera Grove, Matariki Grove, Mitimiti Grove and Mimihau Grove until it reaches Parkway.

• All properties on Mohaka Street, Manutuke Street, Meremere Street as well as any grove or streets off these roads are in zone.

• The zone  moves south east along Parkway until the roundabout with Wellington Road. Brian Morgan Terrace and every road off of it are in zone.

• The zone continues east along Nelson Crescent until it intersects with Wise Street. 16-34 even only Nelson Crescent is in zone.

• The zone runs south towards the end of Wright Street and follows the street around until it intersects with Moohan Street.

• Isabel Grove, Orongorongo Terrace, Pukeatua Place and Remutaka Grove are all in zone.

• The zone then runs through the southern boundary of 72 and 91 Moohan Street and north along the back of the properties off Moohan Street until reaching Bryan Heath Park.

• All properties numbered above 72 and 91 Moohan Street are in zone. The zone then moves west to Fitzherbert Road and then north until the intersect of Fitzherbert Road and The Strand.

• The zone follows The Strand west until where it splits from bordering Hugh Sinclair Park, from here the scheme continues north west along the northern edge of properties on Hinau Grove to Rata Street.

• Properties on The Strand and Hinau Grove are not in zone.

• The zone moves south west along Rata Road until it intersects with Wainuiomata Road. 1-9 odd and 4-8 even Rata Road is not in zone, the rest of Rata Street is in zone.

• The zone moves around the southern end of 117 Wainuiomata Road and then west towards the end of Kowhai Street, from there it then moves north to the end of Puriri Street and finally north east to Wainuiomata Road where it follows until Wainuiomata Lookout.

• 2-94 even and 1-115 odd Wainuiomata Road are not in zone.

• Karaka Street, Maire Street, Ngaio Street, Kowhai Street, Northcote Street, Vermont Grove, and Puriri Street are all in zone.

Where a property has two or more entrances on different streets, or where the actual address of a property is in dispute, only the rateable address as recognised by the local City Council will be considered to determine if the property is in or out of zone.

Transitional Arrangement (“grandparenting”)

This provision has been approved for inclusion in the Konini School enrolment scheme under Section 75 1 (b) of the Education and training Act 2020.The transitional arrangement is for families of currently enrolled students whose addresses become “out of zone” because of the implementation of this Enrolment Scheme.Sections 75 of the Education and Training Act states that:

“the Secretary may authorise an enrolment scheme to permit a student to enrol at the school as if the student lived in the home zone of the school if….

(b) in the case of a new enrolment scheme the student –

(i) lives outside of the home zone of the enrolment scheme, and

(ii) has a sibling who is enrolled at the school, at the time the new enrolment scheme is implemented

If applying for enrolment under this part of the enrolment scheme, the siblings name and evidence of a sibling relationship may be required by the school.

Section 75 of the Education and Training Act 202 sets out the definition of a “sibling” for these purposes.

The school will maintain a list of students enrolled at the time of implementation of the enrolment to enable determination of eligibility to enrol under this provision.

Out of Zone Enrolments

Applications for enrolments will be processed in the order of priority specified in the Education and Training Act 2020.

One calendar month before the application deadline associated with each pre-enrolment period subsequent to the first, a Board must, by public notice in a medium appropriate to the area served by the school:

• confirm the already advertised dates for the receipt of applications and for the holding of the ballot.

• state the likely number of out of zone places that remain available.

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

• First Priority This priority is not applicable at this school because the school does not run a special programme approved by the Secretary for Education.

• Second Priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.

• Third Priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.

• Fourth Priority will be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school.

• 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.

• 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.
