Enrolment at Holy Cross School 

Catholic Schools in New Zealand have a maximum roll which is a number established by the Proprietor and agreed to by Government as to the number of students a school can legally enrol. 

Holy Cross Catholic School can legally enrol up to 5% non-preference or non-Catholic students, provided that all preference applicants are accepted prior to any non-preference enrolments being accepted.  A school, however, does not need to enrol any non-preference students if space does not allow.   

If a child is to be a preference student, he or she must obtain a signed preference certificate.  Preference certificates can be obtained from the school or downloaded from this website.   A signed preference certificate does not guarantee enrolment at our school.  This may dependent on the capacity of our school.

At Holy Cross Catholic School, there is a legal requirement that a preference card must be completed.  

This is done by simply contacting the school's Parish Priest, who can help you to complete this task.
