ENROLMENT SCHEME 1999 HUTT VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL

The purpose of the enrolment scheme is to manage the school roll so as to:

a) maximise opportunities for students

b) maximise the school's ability to plan

c) maintain a maximum preferred roll in the vicinity of 1,450.

At the time of going to print enrolment at Hutt Valley High School is controlled by the 1991 Education Amendment Act. The effect of this is that, since we can no longer accommodate all those students who wish to come here, we must determine an enrolment scheme to limit entry. Therefore, it is the Board of Trustee's intention to enrol 312 (12 classes of 26 students) Third Formers according to the set criteria and priorities. These criteria will be applied up to the closure date for enrolments for Form Three which is the second Friday in August in each year.

N.B It is most important that applications for enrolment are made by the due date. If you enrol late, even though you may be in-zone or with some other priority for enrolment there may be no spaces left. Past experience shows that very few applicants in Priority 5 can be offered places. None will be offered in Priority 5 until late-November, 1998.

PRIORITY ONE:

Permanent residence within the school's geographic zone. The northern boundary is:

Northern Boundary: That area south of a line drawn through the following points and including the streets mentioned starting at the point where, on the Belmont Hill, Normandale Road ends then South to Tirohanga Road along Tirohanga Road and including Kekeno Street to the southern junction of Tirohanga Road and Matuhi Street then in an easterly direction to the Hutt River to a point opposite the Boulcott golf course proceeding down the Hutt River to a point opposite Melling Road, then along Melling Road, Brunswick Street, Kings Crescent, Epuni Street, Oxford Terrace, Waterloo Road, Waiwhetu Road, Rossiter Avenue to the southern end of Wyndrum Avenue then to the East to the boundary between the Eastern and Wainuiomata Wards of The Hutt City, then following the ward boundary south-west until it intersects with the Harbour Ward boundary.

Southern Boundary: That area north of a line drawn through the following points commencing at the point where the Harbour Ward Boundary meets the Wellington City boundary, then following the Harbour Ward boundary to the Hutt River, then following the Hutt River to the harbour, and the coastline generally eastward, then meeting the eastern boundary of the Harbour Ward and following that roughly north and north-west to the intersection with the Eastern Ward/Wainuiomata Ward boundary.

N.B. Any street whose only exit or exits is onto a street named in the zone as defined above at Priority One shall be deemed part of the Hutt Valley High School zone.

PRIORITY TWO

Brothers or sisters of people who are now or who have at any time been legally enrolled at Hutt Valley High School.

PRIORITY THREE

The children of former students.

PRIORITY FOUR:

Students enrolled in Form Two at a contributing primary or intermediate school within the Hutt Valley High School zone as defined at Priority One above.

PRIORITY FIVE:

Any other applicant if there are spaces available. Applicants at this level may be required to attend an interview with the Principal.

N.B. No offers will be made to Priority Five candidates until late November, 1998.

APPLICATION:

A pre-enrolment meeting for prospective parents and students will be held in June of each year. Details will be made available separately. Application for pre-enrolment to Form Three on the form provided should reach the school office by the second Friday in August. Parents will be notified in writing as soon as possible whether their applications have been accepted and they and their child will be interviewed by a dean before the end of the year, to clarify courses. Please note that the official enrolment date - the first day of school of the new academic year - will be notified later in the year and that it is the law applying at that date and the address of the student at that date, which finally determines whether we can finally accept an application for enrolment.

Applications for entry to Form Three received after the closure date will be held on a waiting list. Places may be offered as they become available at the sole discretion of the Principal and Board of Trustees.

ENTRIES AT FORM LEVELS OTHER THAN FORM THREE

For 1999, entry to all other levels will be at the sole discretion of the Principal and Board of Trustees.

It is understood that preference will be given to people exercising their first opportunity to enrol at Hutt Valley High School.

The only exceptions to the above may be enrolments accepted at the request of another secondary school or at the direction of the Ministry of Education.
