ENROLMENT INFORMATION

CLICK HERE TO COMPLETE THE IN ZONE ENROLMENT APPLICATION

From the 1st July 2021 enrolment at Beach Haven Primary School is governed by a Ministry of Education approved enrolment scheme, which includes a zone that is set out below. A full copy of the enrolment scheme can be viewed below. The Education Act sets out the purposes of an enrolment scheme, which are to prevent overcrowding at the school, to ensure that the selection of applicants for enrolment at the school is fair and to ensure that the best use is made of existing networks of State schools.  Students living within the Beach Haven Primary School zone have automatic right of entry under the scheme. Students living outside of the Beach Haven School zone will have another school that is reasonably convenient to their place of residence that they will be entitled to attend. You can find information about the location of other schools and their enrolment zones at http://nzschools.tki.org.nz/.

Out of zone students wishing to attend Beach Haven Primary can apply to enrol if/when the school holds a ballot.

Students whose usual place of residence is within the school zone have an automatic right of entry to the school. Parents of students who live within the zone are encouraged to make their application as early as possible to assist the school to plan appropriately.  

In-Zone Enrolment procedure:

You will need to:

• Check that you live within the list of in-zone addresses below
• Fill in an enrolment application form available from the school office or electronically by clicking the link below.

• Provide a copy of the student’s birth certificate or passport.
• Complete a Vision and Hearing Testing screening approval form and a School Dental Service enrolment form.

NB. It is important to note that an application for enrolment may be declined or an enrolment annulled if the Board believes on reasonable grounds that:

• false information has been given as to the student’s usual place of residence;
• or a temporary address for the student has been given for the purpose of gaining enrolment at the school. (section 11OA Education Act 1989)
