AIDANFIELD CHRISTIAN SCHOOL (82)
Enrolment Scheme
Amendment Commences 1 January 2026
Aidanfield Christian School is a State integrated school with a Christian Special Character which is
defined in its Integration Agreement.
Enrolment
The School operates an enrolment scheme under Section 71 and Clause 16 of Schedule 20 to the
Education and Training Act 2020 (Act). The School Board (Board) is legally responsible for managing
enrolments and is required to work within the school’s maximum roll as outlined in their Integration
Agreement. The Board will manage the roll by offering a targeted number of places each year and
assigning these places in accordance with priority categories.
The Act (Schedule 6, Clause 26) states that “The children of parents who have a particular or general
philosophical or religious connection with a State integrated school must be preferred to other
children for enrolment at the school”.
Area of Reasonable Convenience
The Act (Schedule 20, Clause 16b) states that an enrolment scheme “must accord priority to
applicants for whom the school is a reasonably convenient school”. The Christian Education Network
provides Christian education to the area bounded by the Rakaia River in the south, the
Canterbury/Westland boundary along the Southern Alps in the west, Hurunui River to the North, and
the Pacific Ocean to the East. This area is divided into catchments. The catchment for this school is
described in the written description and shown in the associated catchment map.
