* Notes - Tauranga Boys’ College reserves the right to conduct a small enrolment review of the school zone if link roads are developed, or any major residential housing estates are developed in these areas.
There are limited places for out of zone students. Schools must accept out-of-zone enrolments in an order defined by the Education and Training Act 2020, using a ballot, if necessary. Students who are unsuccessful are put on a waiting list in the order they were drawn in the ballot. They may be offered a place if it becomes available later in the year. The waiting list remains until the school holds its next ballot.
