Clyde Quay School Zoning
Clyde Quay School is located in Mt Victoria and is zoned (see map).
In order to avoid overcrowding, the Board of Trustees (Board) has implemented an ‘Enrolment Scheme’. Each year the Board will ask for new enrolments from residents living within the home zone to determine student numbers for the year ahead.
We are constantly monitoring our roll numbers and how many places we might have for those living out of zone. The Board will determine these places each term and if places are available, notify the community via the school newsletter and below. If there are more applicants than there are places available, selection will be by independent ballot.
Out of zone applications
Each term the Board will determine how many Out of Zone places are available.
Please see notification below regarding Out of Zone applications for Term 3, 2025.

Pre School Transitions
Pikopiko Clyde Quay Kindergarten is within the grounds of Clyde Quay School.
Many families find it convenient to have younger siblings at these centres knowing that older brothers or sisters are only a stones throw away. This makes transition from preschool to school a positive, happy experience.
