Megan from Wadestown

The Wadestown School Board invites applications from parents out of zone who wish to enrol their children at Wadestown School for Terms 1 and 2, 2025. Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available from the school office or at www.wadestown.school.nz.... Students who live in the home zone are entitled to enrol at the school.

Limited places are available in the following areas of the school.


● Ten Out of Zone New Entrant places
● Four Out of Zone places for each year in Year 1 and 2
● Four Out of Zone places in Year 3
● Four Out of Zone places in Year 4
● Four Out of Zone places for each year in Year 5 and Year 6
● Ten Out of Zone places in Year 7
● Two Out of Zone places in Year 8

Where there are more applications for enrolment than there are places available, the Board are required to fill any vacant out of zone places by ballot.

Applications from out of zone students will be processed in the following order of priority:

● Priority will be given to applicants who are siblings of current children at the school.
● Priority will then be given to applicants who are siblings of former children of the school.
● Priority will then be given to applicants who are children of Board employees.
● Priority will then be given to other applicants.

If the number of out of zone applications exceeds the number of places available, selection will be by ballot.

Parents will be informed as to the outcome of the ballot immediately following the ballot being held.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
