Out-of-Zone Place Allocation Procedures
The allocation of available places for out-of-zone applicants is determined by the following nationally legislated priorities:

• a) First Priority must be given to students who have been accepted for enrolment in a special programme(s) run by the school and approved by the Secretary of Education. (This priority is not applicable at this school because Oruaiti school does not run a special programme approved by the Ministry of Education).
• b) Second Priority must be given to any applicant who is the sibling of a current student of the school
• c) Third Priority must be given to any applicant who is the sibling of a former student of the school.
• d) Fourth Priority must be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school.
• e) Fifth Priority must be given to any applicant who is either a child of an employee of the Board of the school, or a child of a member of the Board of the School.
• f) Sixth Priority must be given to all other applicants. If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot supervised by a Justice of the Peace, a Practicing Lawyer or a Police Officer in accordance under Section 11G (1) of the Education Act 1989.
