About Us - Enrolment

Kerikeri High School's enrolment scheme is prescribed by the Education Act 1989 and provides for automatic entry to in-zone applicants i.e. those living in the Kerikeri High School geographic zone ( map | description | Ministry )
If there are remaining places available in a year level they are allocated as required by legislation in an annual ballot to out-of-zone applicants according to a schedule of priorities (see below).

In-Zone Entry

Automatic in-zone entry is confirmed by completing the following procedure:
  1. Complete an in-zone enrolment form. These are available on request from Reception.
  2. Meet with the appropriate year-level Dean. Appointments can be made by phoning or emailing Reception or the Deans Centre - contact information

Out-of-Zone Entry

  1. Complete an out-of-zone application form by the closing date. These are available on request from Reception. Applications will be processed by the school and places allocated based on the criteria and procedures below. All applicants will be notified in writing of the outcome of their application.
  2. If successful in the out-of-zone allocation process, complete the enrolment procedure described above for in-zone students.

Out-of-Zone Place Allocation Procedures

The allocation of available places for out-of-zone applicants is determined by the following nationally legislated priorities:
  1. First priority will be given to applicants approved for special programmes.
  2. Second priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.
  3. Third priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.
