Enrolment Scheme
Kerikeri High School has an Enrolment Scheme that meets the legislative requirements to ensure that overcrowding, or the likelihood of overcrowding, is avoided at Kerikeri High School. The Enrolment Scheme protects automatic entry for those living within the Home Zone and enables some Out-of-Zone access.
Confirmation of Automatic Entry for In-Zone students is by completion of the formal application procedure.
Kerikeri High School Enrolment Zone, Description of Boundaries
All students who live within the Home Zone described below shall be entitled to enrol at the school.
The home zone includes addresses on both sides of the boundary roads mentioned in the description, and all no-exit roads off the boundary roads are included in the zone unless otherwise stated.
Starting from the corner of Pungaere Road and Waiare Road, the zone travels east along Pungaere Road, and turns north into SH10. It continues travelling up the highway to the intersection with Takou Bay Road. All streets and roads connecting to Pungaere Road and SH10 from the intersection with Pungaere Road up to Takou Bay Road are in-zone.
The zone travels along Takou Bay Road (properties on both sides of the road are in-zone) to the coast, and then travels south along the coast to Kaipatiki Rise (all properties to the west are in-zone).
The zone then travels south-west through the Opua forest to where it meets Oromahoe Road, just to the east of number 938 Oromahoe Road. From here the zone travels south to include McDonald Road addresses and then continues south/south-west to include McIntyre Road addresses up to number 437 McIntyre Road (404 McIntyre Road is not included in-zone).
From here the zone travels west to cross SH10 at number 269 and from here continues to travel west to cross Old Bay Road at number 202 and then travels north to number 667 Te Ahu Ahu Road. The zone then travels across country to number 995 Waimate North Road. From here the zone travels north along Waimate North Road up to the intersection with Wiroa Roa. Arthur Taylor Place and Flax Grove addresses are included in-zone.
The zone travels west along Wiroa Road and then onto Lodore Road. The zone continues along Lodore Road until reaching the intersection with Waiare Road. The zone then travels in a north-west direction to the intersection of Puketotara Road and Waiare Road. Note that Waiare Road addresses from numbers 934-1220 are not included in the zone. The zone then follows Waiare Road north from the Puketotara Road intersection back up to the intersection with Pungaere Road.
In-Zone Applications
Your child has an absolute right to attend Kerikeri High School if you reside permanently in the Kerikeri High School home zone. To confirm automatic entry, you are required to complete an In-Zone application with documentation to prove your residential address. Please note that "reside permanently" means that the student lives permanently with their parent/s or legal guardian/s within the Kerikeri High School home zone.
Please ensure the completed In-Zone application is returned to Kerikeri High School Reception as soon as possible to enable timetable planning to begin for the following year and help determine the number of Out-of-Zone places we can offer next year.
Complete the Online Enrolment Form below, or an Enrolment Form can be collected from Reception. Links and enrolment information will be automatically sent to parents of contributing Primary Schools.

Out-of-Zone Entry 2025
Out of zone applications for the 2025 school year have closed.
Out-of-Zone Applications
If you live out of the Kerikeri High School home zone, as per the zone description of boundaries, you must complete an Out-of-Zone application for commencement at the start of the next academic school year. Please contact Reception or check our website in August for information about the dates these applications will open.
The exact number of places available for Out-of-Zone students will depend on the incoming student number who live within Kerikeri High school's home zone, and overall student numbers in current year levels. If there are more applications received than places available at any year level, the allocation of Out-of-Zone places will be by ballot within the priorities outlined below.
- Applications from Out-of-Zone students will be processed in the following order of priority:
- First priority is not applicable because the school does not run a Special programme approved by the Secretary of 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 applicants who are children of a former student.
- Fifth priority will be given to applicants who are children of Board employees.
- Sixth priority will be given to all remaining applicants.
