School Zone 2023
This page includes information regarding the school zone and
about Out of Zone Enrolment.
MDear 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 2023.
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 2023,or enrolled in our Year 8 bilingual Māori Reorua programme.
The Aorere College Board of Trustees has determined that there will be a maximum of 80 Out of Zone enrolments accepted for 2023, and that these will be at Year 9.
There are two very important dates that must be noted:
Wednesday 7th September 2022 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 Wednesday 14th September 2022. 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 2022.
