Welcome to parents, caregivers and whānau wishing to enrol their students at Hutt Valley High School.
Hutt Valley High School is limited in the number of places it is able to offer students at each level. As a consequence, we operate an enrolment scheme. All students who live in-zone who apply are accepted regardless of the roll size. In-zone applications can be submitted at any time. Please note, out-of-zone enrolments for 2024 are now closed and we are no longer accepting any applications.
Applications for enrolments for 2025 have now opened. Please find the online enrolment form below and key enrolments deadlines.

Ballots for Out-Of-Zone Student Places
The order of priority in which applicants who live outside a school’s home zone are to be offered places at Hutt Valley High School is as follows:
- first priority must be given to any applicant who is accepted for enrolment in a special programme run by the school (not applicable as Hutt Valley High School does not have a special programme);
- second priority must be given to any applicant who is the sibling of a current student of the school;
- third priority must be given to any applicant who is the sibling of a former student of the school;
- fourth priority must be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school;
- fifth priority must be given to any applicant who is a child of an employee of the Board of the school;
- sixth priority must be given to all other applicants.
If the number of out-of-zone applicants exceeds the places available, students will be selected by ballot (except in the case of Tautoko – Supported Learning Centre).
Applications for out-of-zone enrolments for 2024 have now closed and the ballot has been held. Applications for out-of-zone enrolments for 2025 are open, please note the application deadlines in the section above.
