  • Do I need to provide original documents?
    Please provide copies or scans of the supporting documents with your application, then bring the original birth certificate (and passport/visa for students not born in New Zealand) when you come to your enrolment interview. We need to sight the original for our Ministry of Education documentation.
  • What is the likelihood of being accepted as an out of zone enrolment?
    We take a number of out-of-zone enrolments each year depending on spaces available. Please make sure that you apply before the closing date to have the best chance in our ballot.
  • We are waiting for documentation (visa, school report)"
    Please send in your application, but be aware that we will not be able to process it until we have these missing documents.
  • We are moving into the Avondale zone soon. Can we enrol our child now?
    You cannot enrol as an in-zone applicant until you have proof of an in-zone address. You are welcome to submit an out-of-zone application.
  • My power bill isn’t in my name – it’s in the name of a family member or friend we live with
    You must provide some sort of proof of address in order for us to process an in-zone enrolment – please discuss this with us.
  • When will I find out what class my child will be in?
    Your child will find out their timetable/classes/teachers on their first day of school.
  • My child has a close friend – can they be in the same class?
    This is a very large school and our entrance testing helps us to determine class placements, so we’re unable to take friendships into account for class placements.
  • My child is a high achiever. Does that give them a better chance of being accepted as an out-of-zone enrolment?
    No. All applications received by the closing date go into our ballot.
  • My child has particular learning needs
    Please discuss these with us at your enrolment interview so that we can consider the ways we will be able to support your child.
  • Do I need to buy a laptop/device?
    Avondale College is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) school. Students need to bring a fully charged laptop to school each day. We do have a number of loan devices available. Please contact the Dean for more information.
  • I’m concerned about my child’s anxiety/mental health/transition into high school.
    Please discuss this with us at your enrolment interview, and request a referral to one of our guidance counsellors.
