Hutt Valley High School – Enrolment Scheme 2001

The text of the scheme below is from the 2001 Prospectus.

At the time of going to print proposed legislation to alter enrolment schemes was under discussion. Different criteria may apply in 2001. Please see the information sheet Education Amendment Bill 2000: Hutt Valley High School – Priorities for Enrolment for more details.

Purpose

The purpose of the scheme is to avoid overcrowding at the school and to:

  • maximise learning opportunities for students
  • provide the opportunity for students who reside within reasonable proximity of the school to be afforded priority access
  • maintain a preferred optimum roll in the vicinity of 1,720.

Entrance

To determine entry to all forms advance enrolment will be necessary. Application must be made by the due date. In enrolling students the following criteria in order of priority will be followed:

Priority One

Students whose usual place of residence at the time they start at school is in the home zone and who seek enrolment will be enrolled at Hutt Valley High School. The board may require proof of residency. The home zone 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 meets with the Harbour Ward boundary and continuing along that boundary until it meets the Wellington harbour.

Western and Southern Boundary: Horokiwi Road (including van der Velden Way) and the northern edge of the Wellington Harbour.

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.”

  • students wishing entry into year 9 (form 3) who are enrolled in year 8 at a contributing primary or intermediate school within the home zone as set out in priority one.
  • Any other student with special circumstances.

Application

Application for pre-enrolment to year 9 must reach the school office by the second Friday in August. Application for enrolment to all other years should reach the school by 15 November. Applicants will be notified in writing as soon as possible whether their applications have been accepted. Applications for entry 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, with priority given to those students whose usual place of residence is in the home zone.
