Ministry of Education message:

Starting today, consultation around an amended enrolment scheme will begin for our school. This proposal is required to reduce the likelihood of overcrowding at Lincoln Primary School by withdrawing the current home zone from the overlap with the home zone of Ararira Springs Primary – Te Puna o Ararira. Under the Education and Training Act 2020, the Ministry of Education must consider such amendments when assessing the potential provision of additional teaching spaces at a school.

You can read about this proposal at https://consultation.education.govt.nz/education/lincoln-primary-school-enrolment-scheme-amendment/ and complete the survey to place your feedback if you have any.

All students who are currently enrolled before the amended enrolment scheme commences are entitled to remain enrolled. Siblings of current students will have priority access to any out-of-zone places offered by the school. If any families become out-of-zone as a result of this amendment, siblings of current students residing in these areas may be able to enrol at the school as if they were in-zone under the specific "Additional Entitlement to Enrol" provision (this is also known as 'Grandparenting').

Please read all the information on the above website before placing your feedback.

Consultation closes on 8 December 2023.
