Preference Positions / Special Character Positions:
To qualify for a preference position, parents need to be in regular attendance at a Bible believing church and have a reference from the pastor to prove this. This process is managed by the school, on behalf of the Proprietor, the Southcity Educational Charitable Trust.
Non-Preference Positions / Non-Special Character Positions:
Non-preference positions are limited by our Integration Agreement with the Ministry of Education. Southcity Christian School may only admit non-preference students if there is capacity to do so, once all preference students have been admitted, and only up to the 10% quota.
At present we have very limited spaces for non-preference enrolment. We are managing our roll to provide space for preference students as we approach our maximum roll. Our next non-preference place is not likely until 2024.
Maximum roll number for 2023 | 200 (as set by the Ministry of Education) |
Maximum non- preference places allowed | 19 (as set by the Ministry of Education) |
Current roll number 2022 | 164 |
