Hurunui College Enrolment Zones
Hurunui College has implemented an enrolment scheme that has been developed by the Secretary of Education. This scheme commences on January 1st 2026.
Under this scheme, students will be enrolled if they live within the home zone viewable in the map below.
Prospective students who have a sibling currently enrolled at the school on January 1, 2026, will be treated as in-zone students for enrolment purposes, if their usual place of residence becomes out of zone as a result of the implementation of the enrolment scheme.
The enrolment of out-of-zone students is governed by the provisions of the Education and Training Act 2020.
The enrolment scheme, which includes a precise description of the home zone, may be viewed at the Hurunui College office.
