Special Programmes

This priority category is not applicable at this school because the school does not run a Special programme approved by the Secretary.

Additional Entitlement to Enrol

Due to the current roll growth in the Te Uru Tarata | Lemonwood Grove School zone, there are no ballot places available for the 2025 school year.

For families of currently enrolled students whose addresses become out of zone as a result of the amendment to this Enrolment Scheme.

Section 75 of the Education and Training Act 2020 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, -

(a) in the case of an existing enrolment scheme whose home zone is amended, i.the student lives outside the amended home zone; and

ii.the student has a sibling who is enrolled at the school at the time that

the amendment is implemented; and

iii.the sibling, at the time that the amendment is implemented, lives inside

the home zone as it was before the amendment; and

iv.the student, at the time of enrolment, lives inside the home zone as it was before the amendment:

The Transitional arrangements (“Grandparenting”) section within the Guidelines for the development and operation of enrolment schemes for State Schools further clarifies that in order to enrol as if the student lived in the home zone:

i.The sibling must also still be enrolled at the school at the time that the

student wants to enrol

If applying for enrolment under this part of the Enrolment Scheme, the sibling’s name and evidence of a sibling relationship may be required by the school. Section 75 of the Education and Training Act 2020 sets out the definition of a “sibling” for these purposes.

The school will maintain a list of students enrolled at the time of the implementation of the enrolment scheme change by the Board in order to enable determination of eligibility to enrol under this provision.

Note: That this is a very tightly defined definition. It would not apply to:

1. Children who move into the withdrawal area after the implementation of

the enrolment scheme boundary amendment; or

2. Children of families/whānau who move out of the old zone after the

implementation of the enrolment scheme boundary amendment.

Out of Zone Enrolments

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

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

2. Second priority must be given to any applicant who is the sibling of a current student of the school.

3. Third priority must be given to any student who is the sibling of a former student of the school.

4. Fourth priority must be given to any applicant who is the child of a former student of the school.

5. Fifth priority must be given to any applicant who is a child of an employee of the school’s board or a child of a member of the school’s board.

6. Sixth priority must be given to all other applicants.

Before the application deadline associated with each pre-enrolment period, 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.

If there are more applicants in any priority group 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 may be required to give proof of In Zone address, or proof to support their application if seeking enrolment under the Out of Zone priorities.

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 exercise.

PLEASE NOTE - This zone is due to be updated with the opening of Te Rau Horopito, in Arbor Green. This may mean your eligibility to attend Lewmonwood Grove School could be impacted if you are due to start in 2026 or beyond. Please make contact with us for clarification.
