Overview
The proposed amendment removes an area southwest of the school (between Kihikihi Road (SH 3), Park Road, and Golf Road) from the school’s home zone.
The proposed change is intended to reduce the pressure on the Te Awamutu Primary School roll, resulting from significant growth in the Te Awamutu township. The removed area sits within Pekapekarau School’s existing enrolment zone.
The proposed amendment includes provision for additional entitlement to enrol under Section 75 of the Education and Training Act.

The amendment would also change the boundary at Riverhurst Drive to reflect the wording of the home zone description. This is for clarity only.

After consultation is finished, the Ministry of Education will collate all feedback and process this information to ensure it meets the requirements of the Education and Training Act 2020 (Schedule 20, Clause 5).
If the Ministry is satisfied that the enrolment scheme amendment meets these requirements, the enrolment scheme will be finalised and provided to the Board. The school’s board must implement the finalised enrolment scheme as soon as practicable.
The amended scheme is proposed to commence from Term 1, 2025.
