Enrolment Zone
Ōtūmoetai College has a Ministry of Education-approved enrolment scheme. Under this scheme, students will be enrolled if they live within the home zone.
Detailed information on our zone can be found here.
In Zone: A student living in zone will be confirmed as enrolled at Ōtūmoetai College only after the full completion of an enrolment form and having provided all relevant documents.
Out of Zone: A student living out of zone may apply for a place at Ōtūmoetai College.
Out of Zone applications received during the year will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If a place is not available, there will be an option to go on to the College’s Out of Zone waitlist for each year level.
