| Enrolment Scheme |
Maximum Roll: 400The school’s roll maximum will be managed within the maximum roll prescribed in the school’s Integration Agreement. Special CharacterA student shall be given preference of enrolment when the Proprietors deem that the student’s parents or guardians have demonstrated a connection with the Special Character of the school and in the case of the High School, that students also demonstrate a connection. Priority Ranking of Preference StudentsApplications for enrolment will be processed in the following order of priority; First priority Priority is given to applicants for whom the school is "reasonably convenient". The Education Act accepts that the definition of "reasonably convenient" for an integrated school such as Taikura, given that we serve the Special Character needs of Hawke’s Bay for Steiner Education, will be greater than for a state school. The area of "reasonably convenient" is that part of Hawke’s Bay bounded by:

In each of the categories, available places will be offered to students in the order in which their names occur on the waiting list for a particular year of entry. Prospective students may be registered on the waiting list at any time. Pre-enrolment Each year applications for enrolment will be sought by a date which will be published in a daily or community newspaper circulating in the area served by the school. Acceptance of offer of placeStudents whose enrolment is successful will be asked to confirm their enrolment within 14 days. Failure to accept the enrolment within this time period will mean that the place will be offered to the next eligible student. A new date of registration will then be applied.
