Liston College caters for boys in Year 7-13. We accept students primarily in Year 7. Enrolment at other levels is subject to availability. In line with our commitment to the Special Character of Liston College and the Integrated Schools agreement between the Ministry of Education and the Catholic Diocese of Auckland, 95% or more of our students are from a preference background. Our applications are open the year before your son is due to start.

2.  Processing the Enrolment Form | Enrolment Interview

Once the application is received, you will be contacted regarding an enrolment interview. The interview is an important step in your son’s application. The interview is with Principal (or Deputy Principal in his absence) and is an important time to ask any necessary questions. Parent partnership is an important aspect of our school and we expect the presence of both parents at this interview. Parents and students are expected to demonstrate a willingness and ability to support the Catholic Character of the College.  

3.  Offer of Place and Acceptance of Offer

On acceptance by the Principal – the following documentation will be sent out to the parent / caregiver:

• Letter of Acceptance.
• Enrolment Acceptance Form.
• General Information.

To secure the offered place, parents must complete, sign and return the Acceptance form, along with payment of a $200 acceptance fee. This may be paid by internet banking, cash, credit card, eftpos or cheque. This is part payment of the 1^st term’s fees (or the term that the student starts at Liston College).

PREFERENCE OF ENROLMENT

The College, in its Integration Agreement with the Government, has two categories of enrolment:

• Preference
• Non-preference.

Preference enrolment is given to those students whose parents have established a particular or general religious connection with the Special Character of the College. The Preference Certificate is enclosed in this pack or available from any Catholic Priest of the parishes that the College serves.

A non-preference enrolment may be granted to those who cannot produce a Preference Certificate. The College has a limited number places for non-preference students. Non-preference places are allocated at the discretion of the Principal.
