Enrolment Scheme
Northcote College operates an Enrolment Scheme, which means that it has a 'home' zone or a geographical area surrounding the school that guarantees families living within that zone automatic entry.
More detailed information about the zoning enrolment scheme can be found here: Zone Information
Out of Zone Enrolment Applications
Each year the Board of Trustees will determine the number of places available for students who live outside of the 'home' zone.
Out of Zone applications will be processed in the following order of priority:
- First priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students
- Second priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students
- Third priority will be given to applicants who are children of former students
- Fourth priority will be given to applicants who are children of Board employees
- Fifth priority will be given to all other applicants.
If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth or fifth priority groups than there are places available, selection within that priority group will be made by a ballot conducted in accordance with instructions issued by the Secretary under Section 11G(1) of the Education Act 1989.
Offers of Place
We ask that all students who have been offered a place at Northcote College accept or decline their place as soon as possible.
Te Whānau o Te Kākano

It provides a Māori pathway for students and their whānau in Northcote College to draw from the strength of their identity to achieve their academic potential.
