Enrolment Procedure

Applications for a place at Auckland Grammar School must be made on the official forms available from Reception at the School or on this website. These forms will be available from late June or early July in the preceding year.

Applications together with all the requisite documentation can be delivered to Reception at the School or mailed to the address below:

Director of Enrolment
Auckland Grammar School
Private Bag 99930

Successful applicants will be advised by mail, email or telephone (dependent on the time-frame) and asked to complete a pre-enrolment pack. This additional documentation is to be returned as follows:

• Form 3: The pre-enrolment evening held at the School in late October each year. Applicants enrolling outside this time will be advised of an interview time with the Dean.
• Forms 4-7: At the interview with the year level Dean at a time to be advised. The student’s parent(s) or legal guardians are required to attend this meeting.

“Enrolment” occurs when attendance at the School commences and the student is first marked present on the school roll.

Unsuccessful applicants will be advised by mail. If your application is unsuccessful you may appeal the Board’s decision by asking the Ministry of Education to direct the Board to enrol the student. Application forms are available from the Ministry’s local office.

Out of Zone requirements

The ballot is a computer generated random sort and conducted under police supervision. The process does not take into account individual students’ achievements.

Each year the Board of Trustees will determine the number of places which are likely to be available in the following year for the enrolment of students who live outside the School zone. Places will be offered to applicants according to their priority group, and then according to their position on the waiting list generated by the ballot. Priority groups are prescribed by legislation and set out in our Enrolment Scheme.

Applications for the Out of Zone ballot will close on a date specified by the Ministry of Education each year, usually early September.
