Our 2024 enrolment process is now closed.
All balloted students have been advised of the ballot results. If you have not heard and think you should have, please email enrol@aotawhiti.school.nz
We will open our pre-enrolment process and tours for 2025 in May 2024. Please register your interest below; we will contact you when this process opens.
Rēhita- Registering your interest.
1. Rēhita – Register your interest
You must register your interest so we can contact you during pre-enrolment for 2025. You must also attend a tour to view our school and how we operate. Once you have registered your interest we will contact you in May 2024 when we open our pre-enrolment and tour bookings. Registering your interest for the 2024 ballot is now closed.
Atā whakatapoko – Our enrolment process
We have completed our enrolment ballot for 2024. Please register above for 2025
We are a designated character school established under Section 156 of the Education Act 1989. The students eligible for enrolment are those whose parents accept the designated character of the school as set out in the New Zealand Education Gazette notice of 4 April 2013. We have an Enrolment Scheme.
As we have more interest than spaces available, we must ballot our home zone at every year level. This includes siblings of current students who must also follow our enrolment process. Because we are a special character school, balloting the home zone differs from a regular school where students who live in the home zone are automatically enrolled. Wait lists are not carried over to the next year. We start a new enrolment process every year.
Te hāpete o mua – our pre-enrolment process
There are two steps to complete before you can be a part of our ballot
1. Rēhita – Register your interest and attend a tour (essential)
You must register your interest so we can contact you during pre-enrolment. You must also attend a tour to view our school and how we operate. Our Senior Leadership Team takes the tour, and there is the opportunity for questions as part of this process. Tours will open in May 2024 for the 2025 enrolment process. Due to the huge demand, we cannot offer tours or visits outside our scheduled dates. Registering your interest for the 2024 ballot is now closed.
2. Te Kōwhiri – Pre-enrolment and ballot information
Once you have attended a tour and want to progress with your enrolment, you must complete our Pre-Enrolment ballot information step. When we start a pre-enrolment process, we will email whānau who have attended a tour our reference form for an educator and a caregiver to fill in. We commonly ring and/or ask you to meet with us to discuss the references.
