Out of Zone Enrolments

Out-of-Zone Enrolment Applications for 2026

The Waipu Primary School Board of Trustees has determined that a limited number of places are available for students living outside our newly established Home Zone. 

For the remainder of the current 2026 school year, we welcome applications for a total of up to 20 placements combined across Year 3, Year 4, and Year 5 classes.

Enrolment Timelines & Ballots

If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds our 20 available spaces, selection will be made via a supervised ballot following the legislative priority order outlined in our Enrolment Scheme. Parents will be notified of the outcome within three school days of any ballot. 

How to Apply

1. Online: Complete the digital form on our Waipu Primary School Enrolment Page.
2. In Person: Collect an out-of-zone application pack from the school office (available from Monday 8th June 2026). 

Completed applications must be submitted online or returned to the office before the respective round deadline to be included in the selection process.

Important Notice for 2027 Enrolments

This allocation process is strictly for the 2026 school year. Decisions regarding out-of-zone availability for 2027 will be officially communicated in Term 3, 2026. The application deadline for 2027 will be 14 October 2026, conforming to the Ministry of Education directive for all primary schools across Te Tai Tokerau.
