Having gained a reputation as a school that is constantly developing its high quality learning environment, we appreciate that many parents are keen to have their children attend BBI. Unfortunately due to limited capacity intake numbers must be restricted, largely by the school zone. By law, any students within the zone have the right to attend but we cannot necessarily guarantee a place to those out of zone.

In Zone Applicants
Bucklands Beach Intermediate School will be taking applications for Year 7 students for 2012 from Monday 8 August 2011. Application forms and prospectuses (both in and out of zone) will be sent to our local primary schools (Bucklands Beach, Macleans Primary, Mellons Bay and Pigeon Mountain primary schools) that week for distribution.

You may collect a prospectus and forms from the school office (8.00am-3.30pm) after 8 August, or alternatively, please send a large A4 sized, stamped self addressed envelope ($1.50) for us to post it out to you.

In zone enrolments will close on Friday 26 August 2011.

Out of Zone Applicants
Enrolments for out of zone students will close on Tuesday 27 September 2011.
A ballot will be held for out of zone students on Tuesday 4 October 2011.

Any spare places are allocated to out of zone applicants in the following order:
1. applicant who is a sibling of a current student of the school
2. applicant who is a sibling of a former student of the school
3. applicant who is a child of a board member employee
4. all other applicants

You will be required to provide:
- A photocopy of the latest electricity or telephone account to show proof of address.
- (NZ Citizens) A photocopy of NZ Birth certificate or NZ passport (showing date of birth).
- A photocopy of latest school report (end of 2009 is quite acceptable).
If not born in NZ additional requirements are:
- A photocopy of passport showing proof of NZ residency plus date of birth, or

Parents of out of zone students will be informed by letter by 30 October 2010.
