Boarding Bursary The Board recognises eligibility for a Boarding Bursary as a criterion for admission. Ministry of Education Allowances and Bursaries: Boarding Bursary (Year 9 - 13) A school boarding bursary is awarded to secondary school students who are obliged to board away from home in order to receive their education. In order to qualify, the student must live more than 4.8km away from the nearest point of embarkation provided by a transport service to a state school. The bursary is valued at $2725 per annum. Application Form E6/81 is obtainable from the Principal's Secretary. Secondary School Bursary (Years 12 and 13) Senior students who wish to study a course not offered by local high schools and who are obliged to live away from home, may receive a bursary of $1990 per annum. Where students are pursuing a course containing subjects at both Year 12 and Year 13 levels, a secondary school bursary will be awarded only if the student is taking at least four subjects at one level i.e. four nationally approved NCEA Level 2 or 3 subjects. Note: in recent years the Ministry has approved applications only where students are taking at least two subjects not available at the local school. Application forms are available from the Principal's Secretary and must be submitted to the Ministry of Education by 31 March of the year to which the application relates. |
