Application Procedure
Complete the Ballot Application Form
The Ballot is drawn on Wednesday 21 October 2026, by a sworn member of the NZ Police.
Names are pulled out of the Ballot and a waiting list is created if there are more names in the ballot than spaces available.
Successful families are advised by email and asked to confirm acceptance in writing of the place offered within 14 days.
Unsuccessful families are advised by email and placed on a waiting list in the number they are drawn from the ballot.
If successful families decline the space, or do not respond within 14 days, the place may be offered to the next child on the waiting list.
The Secretary of Education's instructions to schools are that siblings at the same year level should be kept together for the purpose of the ballot, so that if one sibling's name is drawn, the other is automatically successful also.
