The enrolment process for Renew School

There are two ways you can apply to enrol your child(ren) at Renew School:

a. You can contact the school's enrolment officer and make an appointment to discuss the enrolment process in person by calling 09 438 6471 or emailing enrolment.officer@renew.school.nz using 'Enrolment inquiry' in the subject line.

b. Alternatively, you can complete the online application form by clicking this link. Please note that it is strongly recommended that you first collect all the required documentation before you start completing the online form.

Please note that if an online application is incomplete, e.g. incorrect documentation supplied, the application will be declined. If you receive a notification that your application has been declined, please contact the enrolment officer by calling 09 438 6471 or emailing enrolment.officer@renew.school.nz using 'Enrolment declined' in the subject line.

First steps:

The following are the steps we suggest you follow before starting the enrolment process:

Peruse the website including the Prospectus to understand the Christian Special Character of our school. This will give a more detailed picture of life at Renew School.
If you would like to make a time to come in and have a look at the school, please ring to make an appointment so you can meet with the Associate Principal in charge of the academic area your children would be in. This will allow you to ask questions while seeing the school in action. (We understand that if you are currently living elsewhere, this may not be possible.)
Attend Parent Orientation – dates are published on the Term Dates page.

Completing the enrolment form:

You will need to complete one online enrolment form for each child you would like to enrol. The online enrolment form can be accessed here. Please note that there are several documents you will need in electronic form to proceed with the online enrolment process. Please check the list below.
Fill in your name on the Preference Enrolment (if applicable) and hand it to your pastor/minister to complete. Preference Enrolments must agree with the Belief Statement of Christian Renewal Trust.
Please ensure all sections of the online enrolment form as well as the supplemental information pack are completed otherwise it will delay the enrolment process.
Make sure you include all the necessary documentation required, e.g. proof of identity and the most recent report if transferring from another school.

Documentation needed:

For Preference applications, a completed Preference Enrolment Form. If you do not have one yet, please download this form now and ask your pastor/minister/church leader to complete it and return it to you before you start the online application form.
For Non-Preference applications, a letter in MS Word / PDF format that states that you are applying under the Non-Preference legal classification for state-integrated schools.
A verified copy of the child(ren)'s NZ Birth Certificate or Passport.

Preference Enrolment

Preference Enrolment as defined in our Integration Agreement is where parents have established a particular or general philosophical or religious connection with our school. The Proprietor’s Trustees have the right to determine from time to time the Christian beliefs, vision, values and lifestyle that make up the Special Character of the school. The school’s Board of Trustees is not able to grant a preference enrolment status to parents of any child unless the Proprietor agrees that these parents have established the necessary degree of connection.

Families who want to be considered as Preference Enrolments need to get the pastor of their church to fill in the Preference Enrolment Form.

Non-Preference Enrolment

A limited number of places are available to students who do not meet the above preference criteria. The school may accept up to 5% of the roll as non-preference enrolments.

After filling in the enrolment forms

When all necessary forms have been received, they will be checked by the Senior Leadership Team and representatives of the Proprietor, Christian Renewal Trust. Please note that it is the parents’ responsibility to furnish documentation. The school may contact the parent where further documentation is required. Renew School may contact the contributing school to request clarification of information received.

An interview will be arranged with suitable applicants, both parents if possible, the Principal, and representatives from the Proprietor and Board of Trustees. All parents will be notified by the Principal of the outcome of their application.

Completion of Enrolment Forms does not constitute acceptance into school. There may be waiting lists according to Preference/Non-Preference rolls, High School/Junior School rolls and class sizes.
