Enrolment at Aberdeen School
Enrolment Principles

Aberdeen School has a Ministry of Education approved enrolment zone. Any student who resides within the Aberdeen School enrolment zone is able to attend Aberdeen School and can be enrolled. Families who live within the school zone and wish to enrol their child/ren at Aberdeen School require the following documentation.

A current birth certificate or passport for the child being enrolled
A current record of immunisation if the child being enrolled is immunised
Proof of Address – 2 documents showing proof of address within the school zone, including one current electricity account document

If the child enrolling has specific health needs a Medical Supplementary form will need to be completed on enrolment.

A child who has moved into the Aberdeen School zone from overseas will need to have the above documentation along with a current New Zealand student visa or New Zealand residency document. A supplementary form for the ESOL teacher may need to be completed if the student requires English language learning support.

All families enrolling students at Aberdeen School will need to complete an Education Outside the Classroom Blanket Consent form for each child enrolled.

OUT OF ZONE ENROLMENT

Students who reside outside the Aberdeen School zone may enter the school using the ‘ballot’ system. A ballot form from the school office can be completed and will be used if a school ballot takes place, usually in June or November. An Aberdeen School ballot will only take place if there are numerous spaces at a particular year level that need to be filled.

At times, the principal may decide to consider a discretionary enrolment. The following principles will determine whether this will take place:

The child has a sibling already enrolled at Aberdeen School
The child is that of an Aberdeen School staff member or Board of Trustees member
The classroom intake for that year level/age group is not fully subscribed and there are special circumstances to be taken into consideration (bullying at previous school, family has a long association with Aberdeen School)
There is no substantive resource requirement of the school
