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. |
