Pakuranga College 2023 Enrolments
8 June 2022
Dear Students, Parents, and Caregivers
I am writing to inform you about enrolments for Pakuranga College, 2023.
If you are in the Pakuranga College zone you have an automatic right of entry. If you are unsure visit our website www.pakuranga.school.nz or phone 534 7159 to check the zone.
If you are out-of-zone you will need to go into a ballot for the limited number of places, we have available. At this stage we would expect to have approximately 100 places for out-of-zone students. The closing date for out-of-zone applicants is Wednesday 7 September 2022. The out-of-zone ballot will be held on Wednesday 14 September 2022 and letters to applicants will be emailed/posted by Friday 16 September 2022.
Visits to Local Intermediates
I will be visiting Farm Cove Intermediate on Thursday, 23 June at 9.15am talk to any students who wish to enrol and to distribute enrolment packs. Year 8 students will be able to ask questions and meet some of our current Pakuranga College students.
Information Evenings
Two meetings have been organised to provide alternatives for busy parents as follows:
