Families that are renting or own a home in the Rangitoto College Zone are able to enrol at any time of the year for juniors and in Terms 1 to 3 for seniors. Enrolment is an online process where you are required to supply proof that you reside in our current school zone. The Enrolments Manager will contact you if additional documentation is required and then when your enrolment has been processed and approved. A certified copy of the College statutory declaration is required to be signed by a Justice of the Peace. This declaration is available to be downloaded from the online application form or can be collected from the College reception. This is the only form that is required to be certified.

All Out of Zone families are eligible to enrol for the ballot in July of the year before their child starts at the College. Once the ballot closes and runs in September we are no longer able to accept any Out of Zone enrolments.

No. Students can only live with their parent or legal guardian. Temporary changes in guardianship are not acceptable to the school. This must be a legal guardian which is granted by the New Zealand family courts.

Because only a student who lives in the home zone is entitled to enrol at Rangitoto College and because the Board of Trustees has the statutory power to annul the enrolment in certain circumstances, all changes to the student’s usual place of residence when the School is open for instruction must be immediately notified to the School in writing. Where permission is being sought for the student to remain at the School, the application must be made in writing prior to the move taking place.

The ballot dates do change from year to year. Each year these will be on the main Enrolments page of the Rangitoto College website. The ballot is held one week after the ballot closes and each family who has enrolled out of zone through the ballot will be notified on the day that the ballot is run via email with their result of their student’s placement or waitlist number. If you have been offered placement, we will then invite you to an out of zone enrolment interview with a senior staff member at a date in late September or October.

The statutory declaration is required to be signed by a Justice of the Peace. To help with this process you can find your local Justice of the Peace by searching your area at this link https://justiceofthepeace.org.nz/. To help with the enrolment process we will also have Justice of the Peace available at the College to sign your statutory declaration. Please check our main enrolments page of the college website for these dates.
