Apply for a review of your provisional resourcing roll

Your school can apply for a review of the provisional roll we used to calculate your provisional staffing entitlement for the following year.

You need to demonstrate that our estimate of your resourcing roll is at least 5% at variance with your prediction. We need clear evidence that supports this variance before we’ll consider approving a change.

The required supporting documentation needed is:

  • A list of confirmed pre-enrolments that includes name, date of birth, start date and MOE funding year level.
  • Summary of your current roll sorted by MOE funding year from your Student Management System. If you are unable to provide one, please provide an explanation when submitting your application.

  • Summary of your current student roll sorted by classroom year level.
