Enrolment
Annual Enrolment
Welcome to the Rosehill College enrolment process. For all enrolment enquiries, kindly direct your emails to enrolments@rosehillcollege.school.nz.
In Zone enrolments are advised to complete the process through our online enrolment application.
Out-of-Zone applications must be submitted as hard copies only. Enrolment packs can be collected from Rosehill College’s reception. Please note that any Out-of-Zone online applications will be declined without further notice.
In Zone Enrolments
We strongly encourage you to complete the enrolment application online, ideally on a desktop computer or laptop for the best experience. By submitting online your application does NOT guarantee automatic acceptance. All submissions will be reviewed, and you will receive confirmation via email once the process is complete.
To get started, download the required forms (which can be filled out electronically using a Microsoft Edge browser or Adobe Acrobat for Drive). Be sure to save the completed forms, as they will be uploaded to the ‘Attachments’ section later in this application.
Important Notes
If you are unable to upload and submit the required forms and supporting documents online, you can complete the application with just the information and details. Afterward, you may bring the documents to the school office or email them separately to our enrolment email at enrolments@rosehillcollege.school.nz. Our front office staff are available to assist with scanning and entering your documents into our system.
If you would prefer to complete the enrolment process using paper forms, you can collect an enrolment pack from our front office. The office is open from 8 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday.
All students who live within the Rosehill College zone are entitled to enrol at the college. You can check to see if you are in zone for Rosehill College zone by entering your address in the following link.

Our vision for our students/ākonga is to provide a learning community that reflects, respects, and nurtures their aspirations, identities, and overall well-being.
To initiate the enrolment process, please ensure that the parent or legal guardian of the child completes the application. Proof of the student’s permanent address, along with that of the parent or legal guardian, must be submitted before we can proceed with processing the enrolment application.
While enrolment processing may take some time, you can preview our Year 9 Course Information prior to receiving the course selection link. Additionally, courses for other year levels can be explored under Course Information on our website.
The following forms are COMPULSORY and must be submitted. Please download and fill out each of these forms, ensuring they are completed in full. Note that all forms require a parent or guardian’s signature, while the last two forms also require the student’s signature. It is essential to have these forms signed; any unsigned forms will not be processed. The compulsory forms are as follows:

Please ensure all forms are signed and submitted to avoid any delays in the enrolment process.
Please take a moment to read through Our Rosehill College Way, which outlines our school-wide rules and expectations. It is essential that both you and your children familiarise yourselves with these guidelines before completing the enrolment process. This ensures a smooth transition and helps us maintain a positive and respectful learning environment for all.
To facilitate the processing of enrolment applications, we kindly request a digital copy of the entire file for the following documents (preferably in PDF format for document).
Compulsory Documents
- Birth Certificate or Passport
- Student’s Visa: for non New Zealand/Australia citizen and overseas student.
- Legal or Guardianship documents: Any legal documents (e.g. Guardianship/ Parenting Order/ Custody Order/ Protection Order) if applicable.
- Proof of Address: TWO different documents, each with the caregiver’s name, supply address or rating unit where the student lives, and with the most recent date.
- Tenancy Agreement or Council Rates bill
- Electricity bill or Water bill
Additional Supporting Documents
- Latest school report: from previous school
- Immunisation Certificate: e.g. Measles – available from your Doctor. Please let us know if the student is NOT immunised
Naming documents for upload – All documents should be .pdf or .png or .jpg files and named appropriately. Please use the student’s last name, then first name followed by the name of the document, e.g. enrolment forms for student ‘John Smith’ would be: Smith, John Enrolment Forms.pdf.
If you are enrolling from within our designated zone, your child’s admission will be confirmed promptly upon completion and verification of the required documents. Please be aware that this process can take some time, depending on the volume of applications. Once enrolment is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email or letter. It is crucial to ensure we have been provided with your correct email address and phone number. This will help avoid delays in communication. Additionally, we remind all families that, according to government legislation, schools are permitted to ask a student to leave immediately if it is found that they do not reside permanently within the Rosehill College zone at the time of enrolment.
Out-of-Zone Enrolments
Each year the Board of Trustees will determine the number of places which are likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. The Board will publish this information by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.
Applications for enrolments will be processed in the following order of priority:
- First Priority: This priority is not applicable at this school because the school does not run a special programme approved by the Secretary for Education.
- Second Priority: will be given to applicants who are siblings of current students.
- Third Priority: will be given to applicants who are siblings of former students.
- Fourth Priority: will be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school.
- Fifth Priority: will 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.
- Sixth Priority: will be given to all other applicants.
If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth or fifth priority groups than there are places available, Selection within the priority group will be by ballot conducted in accordance with instructions by the Secretary. Under Section 11G (1) on the Education Act 1989. Parents will be informed of the date of any ballot by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school.
Applicants seeking second or third priority status may be required to give proof of a sibling relationship.
