Each year, applications for enrolment in the following year from in-zone students will be sought by a date that will be published by public notice in a medium appropriate to the area served by the school. This will enable the board to assess the number of places that can be made available to students who live outside the home zone.

Special Programmes

Addington Te Kura Taumatua operates a special programme of Conductive Education for up to 20 learners. (See school website for a programme description and the “Expression of Interest” pack).

Allocation of available spaces in the special programme will be conducted separately from the allocation of other available places for out-of-zone students.

To be eligible for enrolment at Conductive Education Addington Te Kura Taumatua a child must meet the following criteria:

Verified for ORS funding, and be diagnosed with an associated motor planning disorder.

All applicants must meet the criteria outlined above, but may also present with associated learning needs such as; High Sensory Needs, High and Complex Needs (medically fragile), Visual or Hearing Impairments, or High communication needs (including those reliant on alternative and augmentative communication). However, the degree to which a student has a learning need will not be a determining factor in the allocation of spaces under the ballot system.

Each year the Board will identify the capacity of the Conductive Education Addington Te Kura Taumatua programme for the following year. If there are places available, the Board will publish this information in a medium appropriate to the area served by the school. The Board will also notify The Early Intervention Co-ordination Service. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which applications must be received.

If there are more applicants than places, the Board will offer places by way of a ballot. If there are more applicants in a priority group than there are places available, places must be allocated in priority order until a category is reached where the number of spaces available in that category is insufficient to accommodate the number of eligible students. Selection within that priority group must be by ballot conducted in accordance with instructions issued by the Secretary under clause 3(1) of the Education and Training Act 2020.

Places will be allocated to students in the following order:

Those who have previously attended a Conductive Education Programme
Those who live within the home zone, or are already enrolled at the school
All other applicants

Where there are more applicants than spaces, the ballot will be used to establish a waiting list for vacancies that may arise during the year.

Applicants who live out-of-zone and do not secure a place in the Conductive Education programme will enter the selection process for places at the school on the same basis as other out-of-zone students (unless the parents advise they do not wish to apply for places outside of the special programme).

Additional Entitlement to Enrol

This provision has been approved under Section 75 1(a) of the Education and Training Act 2020.

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:

Children who move into the withdrawal area after the implementation of the enrolment scheme boundary amendment; or
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:

First priority must be given to students who have been accepted for enrolment in the Special Programme (Conductive Education) run by the school and approved by the Secretary for Education.
Second priority must be given to any applicant who is the sibling of a current student of the school.
Third priority must be given to any student who is the sibling of a former student of the school.
Fourth priority must be given to any applicant who is the child of a former student of the school.
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.
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 exercised.
