1 January 2024

The guidelines for the development and operation of enrolment schemes are issued under section 72(1) 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 (and shown on the attached map) shall be entitled to enrol at the school.

Starting from the intersection of Tauhara Road and AC Baths Ave, the zone boundary travels south-east along Tauhara Road, capturing odd-numbered addresses only, to the intersection of Hatton Street and Tauhara Road.

From this intersection the boundary travels along Hatton Street capturing addresses on both side of his road, to the intersection of Hatton and Elizabeth Streets. From this intersection the boundary crosses Elizabeth Street, and travels along the eastern boundary of 47 Elizabeth Street (this address included in the zone) to the rear of 44 Brice Street (included in the zone).

From 44 Brice Street the boundary continues around (and includes 46 and 48 Brice Street), then crosses Brice Street to capture 49 Brice Street, continuing south-west capturing addresses on both sides of Brice Street to the intersection of Hapete Ave, Taharepa Road and Brice Street.

From this intersection the boundary continues south-west capturing addresses on both sides of Hatepe Ave, to the intersection of Tamamutu Street and Hatepe Ave. From the intersection of Hatepe Ave and Tamamutu Street the boundary pivots north-west along the centre of Tamamutu Street, capturing even-numbered addresses only, to the intersection of Rifle Range Road and Tamamutu Street. From this intersection the boundary pivots south-west, along the centre of Rifle Range Road, capturing even numbered addresses only, to the intersection of Roberts Street and Rifle Range Road. The boundary travels around (and includes) 121 Roberts Street, proceeds northward capturing 120 and 122 Roberts Street and then continues northward behind (and excluding) addresses on Kaimanawa Street – to the rear of 89 and 89A Kaimanawa Street (excluded from the zone). From here the boundary travels to the intersection of Rawhiti Street and Kaimanawa Street, then continues east along Rawhiti Street, including addresses on both sides of the road to the intersection with Tonga Street.

From the intersection of Tonga Street and Rawhiti Street the boundary travels north capturing addresses on both sides of Tonga Street and on to the intersection with Spa Road.

At the north-western boundary of the Spa Thermal Park, the boundary follows the Waikato River to the Aratiatia Rapids, then travels along the centre of Aratiatia Road (capturing odd-numbered addresses only) to the intersection with View Road.

From the intersection of Aratiatia and View Roads, the boundary travels along the centre of View Road, capturing odd-numbered addresses only, to the intersection of View Road and Broadlands Road.

Proof of residence within the home zone will be required. Proof will include any accounts or bank statements sent to the required address.

Each year, applications for enrolment in the following year from in-zone students will be sought by a date which will be published in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. This will enable the board to assess the number of places which can be made available to students who live outside the home zone.

Out of Zone Enrolments

 Each year the Board of Trustees will determine the number of places which are likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. The Board will publish this information by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.

Special Programmes

Mountview School operates a Māori Medium (rumaki) programme, and this is included as a special programme within this enrolment scheme.

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

• First priority must be given to students who have been accepted for enrolment in the above special programme(s) run by the school and approved by the Secretary for Education.

• Second priority must be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.  

• Third priority must be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.

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

• Fifth priority must 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 must be given to all other applicants.

If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth, or fifth 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 (2) 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.

Proof of residence within the home zone may be required.

Transitional Arrangements

 For families of currently enrolled students whose addresses become out of zone as a result of the amendment of 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:

b)       in the case of a new enrolment scheme, the student—

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

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

This provision has been approved for inclusion in this Enrolment Scheme for a period of 6 years from the 1st January 2023.

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 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 and its adoption by the board to enable determination of eligibility to enrol under this provision.

Process for Rūmaki enrolment

Entry into Rūmaki is determined by a Tono process, in which an interview takes place between the whanau, Principal and teaching staff of the Rūmaki class.

Priority will be given to

1. Applicants within the enrolment zone

2. Siblings of existing students

Decision on entry will be based on:

•         It is ideal that children enrolling as new entrants must have attended Kohanga Reo regularly for at least 2 two years and/or this is a significant adult who is fluent in Te Reo Māori or Māori is the first language spoken in the home.

•         Children must have a significant understanding of spoken Māori commensurate with the level of instruction in the classroom. An oral language test will be administered to ascertain level of understanding.

•         Children enrolling other than as new entrants must have had a bilingual class experience at their previous school and a significant understanding of spoken Māori or have attended Kura Kaupapa and/or Rumaki classes.

•         The school reserves the right to relocate a child into mainstream after enrolment if the level of understanding is such that they are identified as not being able to successfully receive instruction in Te Reo Māori and whose achievement there for is likely to be hampered.

•         Any relocation should be done within two weeks of enrolment
