Zone status

Zone status indicates whether a full-time regular domestic student, adult student or returning adult student resides inside or outside of the school zone at the date of their first attendance at your organisation. It is referred to as Zoning Status by the NZ MOE.

Note: It is mandatory for all schools except specialist schools and correspondence schools to submit zoning information.

Zone statuses

The following zone statuses are used in the NZMOE tab of Current Student Maintenance. See Current Student Maintenance - NZMOE tab (Roll returns).

Full-time regular domestic students at a State, non-integrated school with a current Enrolment Scheme

Zone status applies to full-time regular (student type RE) domestic students enrolling at a state (non-integrated) school that has a Ministry approved enrolment scheme. A student's zone status is based on their address at the time of enrolment and this status does not change if the student's address changes. A student can either be:

• In Zone
• Out of Zone.

Adult student at State, non-integrated school with a current Enrolment Scheme

Select Out of Zone if an adult student attends a state, non-integrated school with a current approved enrolment scheme and has one of the following adult student types: RA, AD, TPAD or TPRAOM. See Student type in the Roll returns manual.

All other categories of student

Select In Zone if the student is boarding at the school hostel unless their first attendance is before the enrolment scheme effective date.

Important: Homestay students must not be recorded as boarding students. You can determine the boarding status of students using the Boarder field on the School tab of Current Student Maintenance. See Current Student Maintenance - School tab (Roll returns).

                    Students at schools without an NZMoE approved enrolment scheme will be automatically exported as ‘NAPP’.

Select Not Applicable if the student is any of:

• Enrolled at a private school.
• Enrolled at a school without a NZ MOE approved enrolment scheme.
• Enrolled at a school before the effective starting date of a NZ MOE approved enrolment scheme.
• Has one of the following student types: FF, AE, TPRE, TPRAE, TPAD, EM, SA, NA or SF. For details, see Student type in the Roll returns manual.
• Enrolled at a state integrated, Kura Kaupapa, character designated or specialist school.
