Out of Zone

At Mount Roskill Primary School, we operate an enrolment scheme to ensure we can effectively manage our roll and provide the best possible learning environment for all our students. This means that students living within our designated zone are guaranteed a place at our school (see In Zone information). 
 
However, we understand that many families living outside our zone are keen to join our school community. We are sometimes able to offer places to out-of-zone students, but this is dependent on the availability of space after all in-zone enrolments have been confirmed.
 
If you are considering applying for an out-of-zone place for your child, please read complete the form below and hand this into our school office at your earliest convenience. If you are applying for the following year please make sure you have your application in by the deadline on the form below. 
 
All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application. If your child is offered a place we ask that you accept or decline as soon as possible. 
 
Please Note:
Out-of-zone enrolment is not guaranteed. We strive to accommodate as many families as possible, but our capacity is limited.
 
Acceptance of one child out-of-zone does not automatically guarantee a place for future siblings. 
 
We appreciate your interest in Mount Roskill Primary School and look forward to receiving your application. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our school office.
