Out-of-Zone Application Information
The Board invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their children at Trident High School for 2024.
Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available from the school office. Application for places must be submitted on the Trident High School application.
The Enrolment Scheme and associated Zone directed by the Ministry of Education continues for 2024. See enrolment scheme & boundary map. On the Application to Enrol form you must indicate whether it is an In-zone or Out-of-zone enrolment. If your son/daughter is residing with parents or primary caregivers or legal guardians in the Trident High School zone then he/she is eligible to attend Trident High School but will still have to go through the interview process before any enrolment is confirmed.
Out of zone applications to enrol close 4.00pm Wednesday, 25th October. Please use the standard enrolment process.
Our BOT will conduct the ballot of out of zone students on Thursday, 26th October 2023. Parents will be notified of Out of Zone ballot acceptance in the third week of Term 4.
