How enrolment at Maromaku School works

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

No enrolment scheme is listed for Maromaku School, 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.
