Out-of-zone Enrolment
Students who would like to attend Pukekohe High School, but live outside our school zone will need to go through the out-of-zone enrolment process.
The PHS Board may consider any out-of-zone applications. This is to be completed through the online enrolment form.
Each year, the Pukekohe High School Board will determine the number of places likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. Once confirmed, we will update our website accordingly.
Applications for enrolments will be processed in the following order of priority:
- First Priority: This priority is not applicable at this school because the school does not run a special programme approved by the Secretary for Education.
- Second Priority: will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.
- Third Priority: will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.
- Fourth Priority: will be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school.
- Fifth Priority: will be given to any applicant who is either a child of an employee of the board of the school or a child of a member of the board of the school.
- Sixth Priority: will be given to all other applicants.
Applicants seeking second or third priority status may be required to give proof of a sibling relationship.
If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth priority groups than there are places available, selection within the priority group must be by ballot conducted in accordance with instructions issued by the Secretary under Schedule 20(3) of the Education and Training Act 2020.
Once the ballot has taken place, we will email all applicants to advise them of the result within three working days.
Students who are unsuccessful will be put on a waiting list in the order they are drawn in the ballot and may be offered a place if it becomes available later in the year.
Applicants who are offered a place will be required to confirm their acceptance by a certain date. If they do not confirm their acceptance by the due date, the place will be offered to a student on the waitlist.
The Education Act provides for the annulment of enrolment if the Board has reasonable grounds for believing that, at the time of application, the caregivers provided false information or deliberately used a temporary address in an attempt to unfairly gain priority in enrolment.
Annulment is via Section 110 (1) for the following reasons:
- although the student had an in-zone address at the time of application, the student had moved to an out-of-zone address by the time of enrolment (i.e. the first day of attendance); or
- the student had never lived at the in-zone address given at the time of application; or
- new evidence has come to light which suggests that the student is not, in fact, the sibling of a current or former student.
Applications for Y9, 2027
Applications for year 9 students in 2027 must be completed by 4:00pm, 2 September 2026.
If the number of applications exceeds the places available, the school will hold a ballot on 9 September 2026.
(2026 out-of-zone applications are closed for all year levels.)
Re-enrolment
Students who have previously been enrolled at our school must NOT complete an online application.
Please do not complete an online application.
Parents/caregivers are advised to contact the Enrolment Registrar in the first instance.
Please note that parents/caregivers must provide updated contact information and recent proof of an in-zone address (see above for acceptable documents). Parents/caregivers and the student must attend a re-enrolment meeting with the Dean/Pou Tuarongo before re-enrolment is confirmed.
