ENROLMENT
We welcome your family to Mangere Central School and look forward to you feeling a part of our wonderful community. Please refer to the below information relating to the applicable zone of Mangere Central School. If you wish to enrol or for further information please contact the school office. Entitlement and procedure to enrol at Mangere Central School Mangere Central School has an enrolment policy in place to define criteria for enrolment. Admission to the school is dependent on where you live. Children who live in zone have an absolute right to attend the school. Enrolments for children who live in zone are accepted throughout the year. Children Living Within the School’s Home Zone Children living within the school’s home zone are entitled to enrol at Mangere Central School. This means that if you give an in-zone address when you apply for enrolment, the address must be your permanent place of residence. Children must be living with their parents or legal guardian (Court documentation is required to verify the guardian). If the school finds that you have given false information, the school may cancel your child's enrolment. Moving out of the Home Zone between pre-enrolment and the commencement of attendance at Mangere Central School The address given at the time of application for pre-enrolment must be the student’s usual place of residence when the School is open for instruction. This means that if you currently live at an in-zone address but move to an out-of-zone address before your child’s first day of attendance at the School, your child will not be entitled to enrol at the School and the Board may withdraw any offer of a place made on the basis of the given address. Moving out of the Home Zone after commencing attendance at Mangere Central School Because only a student who lives in the home zone is entitled to enrol at Mangere Central School and because the Board has the statutory power to cancel 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. |

Enrolment based on false information or temporary residence
The Ministry of Education has advised that parents should be warned of the possible consequences of attempting to gain enrolment by knowingly giving a false address or false information or by making an in-zone living arrangement which is intended to be only temporary. For example:
If the School learns that a student was not living at the in-zone address given at the time of pre-enrolment, or the School has reasonable grounds to believe that a temporary in-zone residence has been used for the purpose of gaining enrolment at the School then the Board may review that enrolment. Unless the parents can provide a satisfactory explanation, the Board may cancel the enrolment. This course of action is provided for under Sections 110 and 110A of the Education Act 1989.
The Board reserves the right to check residency at the address provided. If the above enrolment criteria is subsequently found to be fraudulent then enrolment will be terminated.
- Original birth certificate or passport showing New Zealand Citizenship or Residency confirming entitlement to enrolment at a New Zealand state school.
- A current, original Auckland Council rates invoice confirming parents’ or legal guardian ownership of the property situated within the home zone, OR
- An original tenancy agreement and a bond letter from the Tenancy Tribunal for the property situated within the home zone, OR
- A utilities invoice for the previous two months. This must be a physical address not a Private Box number.
- The Board may request alternative documentation if any of the above cannot be provided, to satisfy proof of residence.
