SENIOR STUDENT COURSE CHANGES (YEARS 11, 12 & 13)

All senior students will receive a letter detailing their subject selections for 2027.

Year 11/12 students with clashes or other compelling reasons for change can book an appointment with their Kaiarataki (Dean).

Year 13 students should make an appointment to see the Careers Advisors. Details on how to book an appointment will be in your letter.

NEW ENROLMENTS

Enrolments for 2027 open in July and close Friday 21 August 2026.  The board has determined that there are likely to be 75 places available for Year 9 out-of-zone students and 25 places for Year 11-13 out-of-zone students. The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the school’s home zone.

If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot is required, it will be held on Monday 7 September. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held.

Students who wish to attend Nayland College after enrolments close on 21 August 2026, should contact the college office (03 547 9769) to arrange an interview.
