School Zone 2022
Dear Parents / Caregivers
Due to growing demand from the community for enrolment at Aorere College, we have found ourselves in a position where we have to enforce the school zone established by the Ministry of Education in 2010. This zone will apply to all enrolments for 2022.
Aorere College will not be enrolling any students who live outside the Ministry of Education prescribed school zone unless they are a Year 8 student who has an older sibling who is currently enrolled at Aorere College and will be attending in 2022.
The Aorere College Board of Trustees has determined that there will be a maximum of 80 Out of Zone enrolments accepted for 2022, and that these will be at Year 9.
There are two very important dates that must be noted:
Friday 15 October 2021 is the deadline for submitting all Out of Zone enrolment applications. These are to be electronically submitted. Go to this link https://portal.aorere.ac.nz/index.php/enrolment to complete the online enrolment form. All supporting documentation such as proof of address, birth certificate/passport etc, can be uploaded at this time using this process.
If we need to hold a ballot, it will be held on Friday 29 October 2021. Please note that if the number of valid Out of Zone applications is fewer than 80, then a ballot will not be required, however if the number of valid Out of Zone applications number more than 80, a ballot must legally be held whereby all 80 successful applications will be randomly drawn under supervision. You will be notified of the result of the ballot within a few days.
The unsuccessful valid applicants will continue to be drawn at random and will be placed on a waiting list in the order drawn, in the event that any of the successful applicants decline the offer of enrolment.
There will be no further ballot in 2021.

Out of Zone Enrolments
Each year the Board of Trustees determines the number of places available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. In 2022 there will be 80 places available to Year 9 Out of Zone students who are siblings of current students. If there are more than 80 valid applications for these places, a ballot will be held, where the students who qualify will be accepted at random. In 2022 these places will ONLY be awarded to the Second Priority below. The third, fourth and fifth priorities will not be considered for Out of Zone places in 2022.
Applications for enrolment must be drawn from the priority categories below in the following order:
First Priority
This will be given to applicants for special programmes approved by the Secretary for Education. Aorere College does not currently offer any special programmes.
Second Priority
This will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students
Third Priority
This will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students
Fourth Priority
This will be given to applicants who are children of board employees
Fifth Priority
This will be given to all other applicants
Applicants seeking second or third priority status will be required to give proof of a sibling relationship.
