Enrolment Schemes and Ballots
Some Whanganui schools operate enrolment zones in order to manage the number of pupils attending their school. Each of these schools has a home zone as agreed between the Ministry of Education, the affected school and surrounding schools. Children who live permanently in this home zone have automatic right of entry into that school providing their family supply evidence to support their residential address.
Families who live outside the home zones can apply for a space at their preferred school or schools and fall under the ballot process which is usually held once a year around the end of September. Apart from some priority candidiates the ballot is a random draw. Please click here to find out more.
