  • manage situations where there is more demand for enrolments than there are places available within their maximum roll
  • provide a fair and transparent processes for enrolment.

Purpose and principles of an enrolment scheme – New Zealand Legislation 

How this applies to a state integrated school – New Zealand Legislation

If there is, or is likely to be, more applicants for enrolment at a state-integrated school than there are places available, we must establish an enrolment scheme for the school. State-integrated schools are not required to have a home zone. They must prioritise applicants for whom the school is reasonably convenient.

The proposed enrolment scheme identifies an area of reasonable convenience for Rudolf Steiner School (Chch) defined as the Christchurch City Territorial Authority.

Information

This enrolment scheme is proposed to commence from 1 January 2026.

All students who are already enrolled at this school before the enrolment scheme commences are entitled to stay at the school.

It is important that we hear and understand community perspectives before we establish this enrolment scheme, especially the design of the enrolment categories and priorities.

See the frequently asked questions (FAQs) below for definitions of pre-enrolment and enrolment.
