ERO's latest report doesn't grade Christ the King Catholic School (Owairaka)

This report type doesn't grade schools — the Education Review Office (ERO) writes a Te Ara Huarau profile report to set up an evaluation rather than to judge the school. This is a profile report from the Education Review Office (ERO), dated May 2024. Profile reports set out findings to guide an improvement cycle rather than giving graded judgements across areas, so ERO did not rate this school. ERO noted that the school identifies disparities in achievement outcomes and is working on how these will be addressed, along with teaching and learning programmes tailored to students' needs.

This state-integrated school enrols by preference criteria, so zone rules don't apply in the same way. The map shows the school location — check the school's own enrolment scheme.

Christ the King Catholic School (Owairaka) is a state-integrated school. Places go first to applicants with a preference connection to the school's special character (for example, a faith connection), so the usual in-zone and ballot rules don't apply in the same way. Where a geographic priority exists, it works within those preference criteria. Check the school's own enrolment scheme before relying on a zone result.

How enrolment at Christ the King Catholic School (Owairaka) works

Ministry of Education enrolment-scheme status, and what it means for an application.

No enrolment scheme is listed for Christ the King Catholic School (Owairaka), so it is open enrolment: a family can apply from any address, and there is no home zone and no out-of-zone ballot. Whether a place exists still turns on capacity at the year level you need — ask the school which intakes it is taking applications for and by when.

A school can adopt an enrolment scheme when it needs to manage growth, so confirm the current position with the school before relying on it.
