How to Verify Your Address is In-Zone

  1. 1

    Contact the Schools Directly

    Call or email Auckland Grammar School and Epsom Girls Grammar School with your specific address. They can confirm whether you are in-zone.

  2. 2

    Check Official Zone Maps

    Visit the schools' official websites and review their published zone boundary maps. Look for your street name.

  3. 3

    Get Written Confirmation Before Purchasing

    Before you purchase any property, get written confirmation from both schools that your address is in-zone. This protects you from boundary changes or map interpretation errors.

  4. 4

    Understand Enrolment Requirements

    Being in-zone doesn't automatically guarantee enrolment. You typically need to provide proof of residence (rates notice, tenancy agreement) and your child must meet age requirements.

Zone Boundary Updates and Changes

Why Zone Boundaries Change

School zone boundaries are not permanent. They can be adjusted based on:

  • School capacity: If a school becomes over-subscribed, zones may shrink
  • Population changes: Urban development and demographic shifts can trigger adjustments
  • Ministry of Education policy: Government policies may require zone changes
  • Equity considerations: Zones may be adjusted to balance access across communities

When to Check for Updates

  • Before purchasing property: Always verify current boundaries
  • Before enrolment: Check 12-18 months before your child needs to enrol
  • Annually: Review official school websites for any announced changes
  • If moving house: Confirm your new address is still in-zone

Frequently Asked Questions
