Email enrolments
If you are enrolling from within our designated zone, your application will be processed promptly. Please be aware that this process may take some time, depending on the volume of applications. Once enrolment is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email.
It is essential to ensure that we have been provided with your correct email address and phone number to avoid delays in communication.
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.
Placement Availibilty
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. The Board will publish this information by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.
Ballot Priorities
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.
Re-enrolment
Student 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.
