OUT OF ZONE ENROLMENTS - Hiwinui School 

The Board of Trustees of Hiwinui School invites applications from ‘out of zone’ families who wish to enrol their child  at Hiwinui School beginning in Term 3 or Term 4 2026 . The Board estimates there will be approximately 6 out-of-zone places available across Years 3-4 and Years 6-7 only.  The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within our school’s home zone.

Enrolments at Hiwinui School are governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available on our school website, or from the office. On our website you are welcome to download an ‘Out of Zone’ application form.  

The deadline for receipt of applications for our out of zone placements is Noon Thursday 9th July 2026.

If the number of applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. The ballot will be held on Monday 13 July 2026.  Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot as soon as practicable following the ballot.

Our delicious Cuba Bakehouse pies are being delivered tomorrow (Friday 22 May)!  

We are still in need of paper bags for packing, so if you have any spare at home, please send them to school tomorrow morning.

If you are available to help pack pies, we would love your help in Room 6 from 11.45am onwards.

A notice will be posted on Hero, Skool Loop, and Facebook once the pies are packed and ready for collection.

Thank you to everyone who supported this fundraiser — we sold an amazing 977 pies, making a profit of $2,111 towards EOTC activities!

If you would like your child to be added to the “Walking Home List”, please let the office know. This list is for students who have parent approval to walk home independently.

Students who are not on this list will require parent permission communicated to the school office before walking home. This helps us keep all students safe and ensures we know each child’s after-school arrangements.

We also recommend that students walking home wear a Hi-Vis vest for visibility and safety.
