ENROLMENT

Welcome to Rotorua Boys' High School. We accept enrolments throughout the school year and are committed to making the transition into our kura as smooth as possible for you and your son.

Enrolment Process

What you need to enrol

Before you begin your application, please ensure you have clear copies of the following documentation ready to upload or attach:

  • Students' Birth Certificate or Passport
  • Students' most recent school report
  • Visa documentation (if applicable)

The Enrolment Pathway

We have simplified our process into one clear timeline. Once you submit your form, our Dean of Enrolments will review your paperwork and reach out via email to outline the next steps:

Step 1: Complete the Enrolment Form

Fill out our single enrolment form. On this form, you will simply check the boxes to indicate which options apply to your son:

  • Day Student
  • Te Whare o Raukura (Te Ao Māori Immersion)
  • Tai Mitchell Hostel (Boarding house accommodation)
  • Re-Enrolment
Step 2: Confirmation by Dean of Enrolments that your form has been received and is being processed.

The information is directed to the specific teams managing your chosen options:

  • Hostel Selections: Sent directly to the Director of Boarding.
  • Whare Selections: Sent directly to our Whare staff.
  • Day Student Enrolments: Sent to our Year Level Deans after documentation is received from current or previous school.

Please note: For all enrolments the Enrolment Dean will contact the students’ previous school to collect Pastoral, Academic and Attendance information so we can make the transition as easy and successful as possible.

Step 3: Team Review & Contact

The relevant team(s) will review your documentation and reach out to you via email or phone to outline the next steps:

  • Whare applications: Our Whare staff will contact you early in Term 4 to arrange a kanohi ki te kanohi (face-to-face) hui.
  • Hostel applications: The Hostel team will contact you to discuss accommodation availability and interview schedules.
Step 4: Enrolment Interview &/or Confirmation

The final stage involves an enrolment interview. Enrolment is officially confirmed once the interview process has concluded and a formal offer has been made.
