No. Unfortunately we’re not like your local school. You cannot just arrive on the morning and have your child in a class later that day … even if you live right next to the building. We must follow our enrolment scheme. This normally means that we will take your registration of interest, ballot it with […]

It depends. Each year we find that we have slightly different demands at each year level. In general we ballot at all year levels. There is usually more demand at Y1-6.
Ao Tawhiti is a state school. There is no cost to attend.
No. We don’t take bribes and we can’t work outside of our enrolment scheme
A JP draws names. The ballot is a formal process designed to ensure that we are seen to be fair to all those who enter the ballot.
Ao Tawhiti’s zone encompasses Christchurch city. If you live outside of Christchurch you can still enrol, but you will be balloted after the students within the zone.
One of the current requirements for schools across NZ is to be able to Contact Trace all of the people who come onto a school site. We need to meet this requirement. If you intend to come onto the school site for any reason you will need to provide your details. With that in mind […]
