Our front office staff are available to assist with scanning and entering your documents into our system.

Our vision for our students / ākonga is to provide a learning community that reflects, respects, and nurtures their aspirations, identities, and overall well-being.
To initiate the enrolment process, the application must be completed by the parent or legal guardian of the student. Proof of the student’s permanent address, along with that of the parent or legal guardian, must be submitted before we can proceed with processing the enrolment.
While enrolment processing may take some time, you can preview our Year 9 Course Information prior to receiving the course selection link. Courses for other year levels can also be explored under Course Information on our website.
The following forms are COMPULSORY and must be submitted. Please download and fill out each form, ensuring they are completed in full.
Note: All forms require a parent or guardian’s signature. The last two forms also require the student’s signature. It is essential that all required signatures are included — any unsigned forms will not be processed.
The compulsory forms are as follows:
- Student Health Record
- In-zone Enrolment Questionnaire
- Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) Consent Form

Please ensure all forms are signed and submitted to avoid any delays in the enrolment process.
We also ask that you take a moment to read through Our Rosehill College Way, which outlines our school-wide rules and expectations. It is important that both you and your child/children familiarise yourselves with these guidelines before completing the enrolment. This helps ensure a smooth transition and supports a positive, respectful learning environment for all.
To facilitate the processing of enrolment applications, we kindly request digital copies of the following documents, preferably in PDF format:
Compulsory Documents
- Birth Certificate or Passport
- Student’s Visa: For students who are not New Zealand/Australian citizens.
- Legal or Guardianship documents: Any legal documents (e.g. Guardianship, Parenting Order, Custody Order, Protection Order), if applicable.
- Proof of Address: TWO different documents, each with the caregiver’s name, supply address or rating unit where the student lives, and with the most recent date.
- Tenancy Agreement or Council Rates bill
- Electricity bill or Water bill
If you are unable to provide the required proof of address, you must complete a statutory declaration confirming your current residential address. This must be signed and witnessed by an authorised person (such as a Justice of the Peace). The declaration must include your full residential address and any other details required in the form. Failure to provide acceptable proof of address or a completed statutory declaration may result in a delay or refusal of enrolment. For further information or assistance, please contact the enrolment office.

File Naming and Format
All uploaded documents should be in .pdf, .png, or .jpg format and clearly named. Please use the student’s last name, followed by first name, and then the document type. For example: Smith, John Enrolment Forms.pdf
If you are enrolling from within our designated zone, your child’s admission will be confirmed promptly upon the completion and verification of the required documents. Please be aware that this process may take some time, depending on the volume of applications. Once enrolment is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email or letter.
It is essential to ensure that we have been provided with your correct email address and phone number to avoid delays in communication.
We remind all families that, under government legislation, schools are permitted to ask a student to leave immediately if it is found that they did not reside permanently within the Rosehill College zone at the time of enrolment.
Out-of-zone Enrolment
Each year, the Rosehill College Board will determine the number of places likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the home zone. The Board will publish this information by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which all applications must be received.
Applications for enrolments will be processed in the following order of priority:
- First Priority: This priority is not applicable at this school because the school does not run a special programme approved by the Secretary for 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 any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school.
- Fifth Priority: will be given to any applicant who is either a child of an employee of the board of the school or a child of a member of the board of the school.
- Sixth Priority: will be given to all other applicants.
If there are more applicants in the second, third, fourth, or fifth priority groups than there are available places, selection within the priority group will be determined by ballot, conducted in accordance with the instructions of the Secretary under Section 11G(1) of the Education Act 1989. Parents will be informed of the ballot date by notice in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school.
Applicants seeking second or third priority status may be required to give proof of a sibling relationship.
