Overview

The Ministry of Education is proposing a minor amendment to the enrolment scheme of Heaton Normal Intermediate.

Heaton Normal Intermediate has an enrolment scheme which has not been updated in many years. The current written description for the Heaton Normal Intermediate home zone does not make it clear whether both sides of boundary roads are included. The current home zone map is drawn to road boundaries and needs to be updated to land parcel boundaries to more precisely identify where properties on both sides of boundary roads are intended to be included in the home zone.

A minor amendment is therefore required to update the written description and map for the home zone to clarify boundaries and to identify more accurately which addresses should be considered in-zone. This will allow more accurate identification of in-zone addresses, particularly when using online search tools. The enrolment scheme wording will also be updated to reflect the Education and Training Act 2020.

The proposed commencement date of this minor amendment is 01 January 2024.
