Enrolment Process
We accept enrolments for students aged between 5 and 21 years, who are verified as having ongoing learning support needs (ORS), and for whom Sir Keith Park School is the nearest appropriate special education facility.
We welcome school visits from parents / whanau and professionals who are investigating schooling options.
Each student who enrols at our school is required by the Ministry of Education to have a Section 9 agreement which is signed by their Learning Support representative.
Our enrolment process is detailed below.

​
Families / whanau may approach the school directly, or be supported in the process by Learning Support Professionals. The student’s eligibility is checked, and an appointment made to view possible classes.

Specialised School Transport Assistance (SESTA):
All students who have ORS verification are eligible to apply to the Ministry of Education for transport assistance to their nearest appropriate facility – taxi provision or a conveyance allowance for parents who transport their own child.
Please note: If Sir Keith Park School is not your local special school, a conveyance allowance will only be considered for the distance to the nearest special school.
Transport decisions are made by the Ministry of Education subject to the SESTA criteria being met.
GoBus are our current transport providers.
