Auckland Seventh-Day Adventist High School

Priority Enrolment

Applications for enrolment at each year level will be processed in the following order of priority:

First Priority will be given to preference applicants for whom the school is reasonably convenient. [Note 1] Students within this priority group are guaranteed enrolment unless including all of them would exceed the school’s maximum roll.

If including all first or second priority applicants would exceed the school's maximum roll then criteria for selection will be based, in sequence of the following categories:

• Will be given to children of Adventist Church Ministers;
• Will be given to children of Board of Trustee employees;
• Will be given to members of the Seventh-day Adventist church;
• Will be given to preference applicants who are siblings of current pupils;
• Will be given to preference applicants transferring from other Adventist schools;
• Will be given to children of members of the Board of Trustees;
• Will be given to preference applicants who are siblings of former pupils ;
• Will be given to preference applicants who are children of former pupils;

Where the number of places available at any year level runs out within any of the category levels a) to f) above, priority in each category will be assigned based on the order in which the enrolment applications were received by the school.

Unsuccessful applicants at each year level will have their names recorded on a waiting list, within their relevant priority category, ranked in the order of the date in which the application was received by the school. The waiting list at each year level will remain current until the board next notifies the public that it is inviting applications for new enrolment intake.

Second Priority will be given to non-preference applicants. Non-preference students will be enrolled only if enrolment places remain after all preference applicants have been enrolled, the roll is not within 80% of the maximum roll and the board judges that enrolment of the non-preference students will not compromise its ability to offer places to preference students who might apply for enrolment at a later date. Priority among non-preference students will be given to students who meet one or more of the following criteria:

• Siblings of non-preference students already enrolled in the school
• Enrolment is sought at Year 9
• Proximity to the school.

Where the number of places available at any year level runs out within any of the category levels a) to f) above, priority in each category will be assigned based on the order in which the enrolment applications were received by the school.

Unsuccessful applicants at each year level will have their names recorded on a waiting list, within their relevant priority category, ranked in the order of the date in which the application was received by the school.
