2026 Out of Zone Enrolments
The Board invites applications from whānau who wish to enrol their children at Trident High School for next year.
Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available from the school office and below. Application for places must be submitted on the Trident High School application form.
Out of zone application deadline is 5:30pm Wednesday, 15 October 2025.
Parents of students who live within the home zone should also apply by this date to assist the school to plan appropriately for next year.
The Board has determined that out of zone places for 2026 will be 50: Category 1 the number of places available will be 0; Categories 2-6 places likely to be available will be 50. The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone.
If the number of out of zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot except in the case of our Special Programme, where the criteria in the enrolment scheme apply.
Once the 50 out of zone places are allocated in order of priority the remaining applications continue to be drawn and become a waitlist. If a ballot is required it will be held on Thursday, 16 October 2025. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held.
