Mercury Bay Area School enrolment scheme end

The Board of Trustees announcement on Friday 12th April 2024 read:

The Board of Mercury Bay Area School wishes to advise that it is abandoning its enrolment scheme. The enrolment scheme was implemented on 28 January 2019 to manage overcrowding at the school, which is no longer an issue.

The enrolment scheme will end on 12th April 2024. Following this date, any student who wishes to do so will be entitled to enrol at Mercury Bay Area School.

The Board advise that any questions about the ending of the scheme can be directed to Karin Farrelly, PA to the Principal, via email at farrellyk@mbas.ac.nz.

About Mercury Bay Area School

Mercury Bay Area School is an Area or Composite school consisting of three distinct learning groups all on one site. The school caters for students aged five through to 19 years of age and for every school year from Year One through to Year 13.

Each of the three learning groups is led by a Deputy Principal and an Assistant Principal who are responsible for the learning and achievement, welfare, discipline, guidance, attendance and class placement of every student in their section of the school.

As an Area School, we offer a unique educational experience that ensures a continuity of education for Students/Ākonga to develop close relationships with each other, and the teachers who support them on their learning journey.
