Hillview Christian school is a state integrated school with a Christian Special Character which is defined in its Integration Agreement.
The school operates an enrolment scheme under Section 71 and Clause 16 of Schedule 20 to the Education and Training Act 2020 (Act). The School Board (Board) is legally responsible for managing enrolments and is required to work within the school's maximum roll as outlined in their Integration Agreement. The Board will manage the roll by offering a targeted number of places each year and assigning these places in accordance with priority categories.
The Act (Schedule 6, Clause 26) states that "The children of parents who have a particular or general philosophical or religious connection with a State integrated school must be preferred to other children for enrolment at the school".
The Act (Schedule 20, Clause 16b) states that an enrolment scheme 'must accord priority to applicants for whom the school is a reasonably convenient school". The Christian Education Network provides Christian education to the area bounded by the Rakai a River in the south, the Canterbury/Westland boundary along the Southern Alps in the west, Hurunui River to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the East. This area is divided into catchments. The catchment for this school is described in the written description and shown in the associated catchment map.
