Nelson’s only mixed-gender college has confirmed it will implement an enrolment zone - but its not likely to happen until 2022.
Stoke’s Nayland College is rapidly nearing its 1330 student capacity, however, it is too late to put in an enrolment zone for next year. That means any student wanting to start at the school in 2021 can still enroll. Principal Daniel Wilson told
Nelson Weekly that the ministry’s network team attended a board meeting last Wednesday. “They have said there are no options for the school to expand and they want to control growth with an enrolment zone, not by building new buildings.
“That decision has effectively been made by the ministry - it’s out of our control.” Daniel says a consultation process will need to take place regarding what the enrolment zone will look like. They will be required to consult with
neighbouring schools and parents of current and future students on the home zone boundary. “Whether we do the consultation process this year or next year, I’m not 100 per cent sure.”

Recognised for bringing dignity to the past Nelson North Lions Club last week presented Brian McIntyre with the Melvin Jones Cup for his outstanding work in the community. Brian has spent the last five years building a small team of people to clean close to 100 gravestones in the Wakapuaka Cemetery. His goal is to help restore some dignity to gravesites that have been lost to time. The Melvin Jones Fellowship is the backbone of Lions Clubs International Foundation. Membership to the fellowship recognises a tremendous contribution to humanity and is sponsored by a Lions Club. There are more than 440,000 recipients worldwide and this award is recognised as one of the highest awards in Lions. Photo: Charles Anderson.
