Waihopai School Out of Zone Pre-Enrolment Procedures and Subsequent Balloting Procedures

The Board invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their children at Waihopai School for 2025. Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available from the school office or on the school website. The deadline for receipt of applications for out-of-zone places is 14th October 2024. The board has determined that 15 places are likely to be available for out-of-zone students next year. The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone. If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot (except in the case of special programmes, where the criteria in the enrolment scheme applies). If a ballot is required it will be held on 25th October 2024. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held.
