Enrolment Scheme at Queen Elizabeth College

Queen Elizabeth College now has an enrolment scheme to help us make sure we do not become overcrowded.

Students who live inside of the home zone have an automatic right to enrol. (Please note that different home zone boundaries apply for students enrolling in Years 7–8 and for students enrolling in Year 9 and above.)

Students who live outside of the home zones are welcome to apply for out-of-zone places. Each year we will advertise the number of places likely to be available for the following year.

If there are more out-of-zone students wanting to attend than we have places for, our enrolment scheme explains how places are decided. A copy of our enrolment scheme is available at the school office or on our website.

In-zone enrolments for 2027

To help us plan for 2027, we encourage in-zone whānau intending to enrol to let us know as soon as possible.

Out-of-zone places for 2027

Please note the number of places for out-of-zone students available in 2027 depends on the number of in-zone enrolments we receive.

Year 7 and 8 places

Based on our 2026 enrolments the Board estimates there will be likely to be the following out-of-zone places available for 2027:

Year 7: 35 places   |   Year 8: 0 places

Applications will close on 11 September 2026. If required, a ballot will be held on 16 September. If there are any remaining places they will be advertised.

Year 9 places
Based on our 2026 enrolments the Board estimates there will be likely to be the following out-of-zone places available for 2027:

Year 9: 45 places

Applications will close on 21 August 2026. If required, a ballot will be held on 1 September 2026. If there are any remaining places they will be advertised.

Year 10-13
Out-of-zone places for year 10-13 will be advertised later in Term 3 once the board has a better idea of how many senior students are returning.
