Enrolments

Students who live within the Takapuna Grammar School zone may enrol at the school as of right, provided they:

• have entitlement to a state education (see 'Online Enrolment Form' for documents required)
• live in the zone with a parent or court appointed legal guardian (see 'Online Enrolment Form' for acceptable forms of evidence)
• have not been excluded from another school
  
  

Documentation required:

• a land rates invoice or sale and purchase agreement or if renting the rental agreement (with a minimum one year tenancy) and a Tenancy Services bond receipt
• a broadband or power utility bill 
• a birth certificate/passport and/or relevant visa

We do not accept house share living arrangements with friends, family or landlords. Once the school is satisfied that the enrolment criteria have been met, the student and parent/caregiver will be invited to attend an enrolment interview with senior management. 

It is not possible to begin the enrolment process until the student is living in zone.

Students living outside the school zone can apply under the Out of Zone Selective Ballot Entry process. The ballot is held annually to determine which of these students can be given the right to enrol for the following year.
