What You’ll Need to Start School
Uniform
A uniform fosters a professional image and ensures a consistent, neat standard of dress for all students.
Stationery
- We have teamed up with OfficeMax MySchool to provide an option for purchasing your stationery requirements.
- To build a stationery order or list, go to the website and select the subjects from the year level column that your child will be taking. Please note that Years 7 and 8 students take all of the subjects listed in their year level column.
- You can get a stationery list to use for other suppliers or to compare prices by printing out a mail order form at checkout. The school will also have stationery lists available at the school office.
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)
Since 2014, students have had the option to bring personal computing devices to support and enhance their learning.
Enrolment Zone
Proof of residence within the school’s designated zone is required. Applications for the following year should be submitted by 31 July.
The enrolment zone boundary is geographically defined:
- North: Waimakariri River from the main divide down to Thompsons Road.
- South along Thompsons Road → Calders Road → Sandy Knolls Road → Two Chain Road.
- Westward along Two Chain Road → Coaltrack Road → opposite Westenras Road → crossing the Selwyn River → Westenras Road → McWhas Road → Wrights Road.
- Northwest along Wrights Road → South Two Chain Road → Sharlands Road → Mitchells Road → Terrace Road → North Rakaia Road → Burns Road.
- South along Burns Road to the Rakaia River, which then continues west to the Main Divide.
Where a boundary follows a roadway, both sides of the road are included in the zone.
