Wadestown School - Out of Zone enrolments

Megan from Wadestown

The Wadestown School Board invites applications from parents out of zone who wish to enrol their children at Wadestown School for Terms 1 and 2, 2025. Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available from the school office or at www.wadestown.school.nz.... Students who live in the home zone are entitled to enrol at the school.

Limited places are available in the following areas of the school.


● Ten Out of Zone New Entrant places
● Four Out of Zone places for each year in Year 1 and 2
● Four Out of Zone places in Year 3
● Four Out of Zone places in Year 4
● Four Out of Zone places for each year in Year 5 and Year 6
● Ten Out of Zone places in Year 7
● Two Out of Zone places in Year 8

Where there are more applications for enrolment than there are places available, the Board are required to fill any vacant out of zone places by ballot.

Applications from out of zone students will be processed in the following order of priority:

● Priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of current children at the school.
● Priority will then be given to applicants who are siblings of former children of the school.
● Priority will then be given to applicants who are children of Board employees.
● Priority will then be given to other applicants.

If the number of out of zone applications exceeds the number of places available, selection will be by ballot. If a ballot for out of zone places is required, it will be held at 12:00 pm on Friday 18 October 2024 under external supervision. Parents will be informed as to the outcome of the ballot immediately following the ballot being held.

The deadline for receipt of applications for out of zone places is 12:30 pm on Wednesday 16 October 2024.

Applications are to be made in writing by email, marked ‘Confidential’ to Amanda Frater (amandaf@wadestown.school.nz) using the Subject Heading; ‘Confidential – Out of Zone Ballot 2025’.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
