Our Directors will be in touch with more information in October/November. PERFORMING ARTS ACADEMY SPORTS ACADEMY Frequently asked questions General12 Do I need to provide original documents? Please provide copies or scans of the supporting documents with your application, then bring the original birth certificate (and passport/visa for students not born in New Zealand) when you come to your enrolment interview. We need to sight the original for our Ministry of Education documentation. What is the likelihood of being accepted as an out of zone enrolment? We take a number of out-of-zone enrolments each year depending on spaces available. Please make sure that you apply before the closing date to have the best chance in our ballot. We are waiting for documentation (visa, school report)" Please send in your application, but be aware that we will not be able to process it until we have these missing documents. We are moving into the Avondale zone soon. Can we enrol our child now? You cannot enrol as an in-zone applicant until you have proof of an in-zone address. You are welcome to submit an out-of-zone application. My power bill isn’t in my name – it’s in the name of a family member or friend we live with You must provide some sort of proof of address in order for us to process an in-zone enrolment – please discuss this with us. When will I find out what class my child will be in? Your child will find out their timetable/classes/teachers on their first day of school. My child has a close friend – can they be in the same class? This is a very large school and our entrance testing helps us to determine class placements, so we’re unable to take friendships into account for class placements. My child is a high achiever. Does that give them a better chance of being accepted as an out-of-zone enrolment? No. All applications received by the closing date go into our ballot. My child has particular learning needs Please discuss these with us at your enrolment interview so that we can consider the ways we will be able to support your child. Do I need to buy a laptop/device? Avondale College is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) school. Students need to bring a fully charged laptop to school each day. We do have a small number of loan devices available. Please contact the Dean for more information. I’m concerned about my child’s anxiety/mental health/transition into high school. Please discuss this with us at your enrolment interview, and request a referral to one of our guidance counsellors.
