Marian College Enrolment Scheme Amendment

Overview

The Ministry of Education has been working with Marian College to make some changes to their enrolment scheme. This is to continue to assist the Board to manage a situation where there is more demand for enrolments than there are places available within the maximum roll, provide a fair and transparent process for enrolment and to ensure we are making the best use of schooling facilities across the network of local schools.

Marian College is moving to a new site in the future and recently redrawn parish boundaries mean that a change is required to the enrolment scheme.

Note that all students who are already enrolled at Marian College before the enrolment scheme changes commence are entitled to stay at Marian College.

It’s important that we hear and understand community perspectives before we establish these changes to the enrolment scheme at Marian College – especially the design of the enrolment categories and priorities.  Please have a look at the proposed information available before you participate in the consultation process.

This consultation process is about enrolment schemes, which determines the entitlement to enrol.  

Please see the attached Parish boundaries at the bottom of the page. 

Submissions are official information

Submissions you make become official information. The content of submissions can be asked for under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). Under the OIA, we must make information available unless there is good reason for withholding it.

Tell us if you have any objections to the release of any information used in your submission, particularly which part(s) you believe should be withheld, along with the reason. Reasons might include that it is commercially sensitive or it is personal information. We will take into consideration any objections when responding to OIA requests. However, any decision the Ministry of Education makes to withhold information can be reviewed by the Ombudsman, who may tell us to release it.

What happens next

After consultation is finished, the Ministry of Education will collate all feedback and process this information to ensure it meets the requirements of the Education and Training Act 2020. If the Ministry is satisfied that the enrolment schemes meets these requirements, the enrolment scheme will be finalised and provided to the Board. The school’s board must implement the finalised enrolment scheme as soon as practicable.
