Enrolling at Otamatea High School
Otamatea High School has an enrolment scheme that determines who can enrol at the school. Students may apply for entry under two categories.

Students may enrol and attend the school as of right, provided they:
- have entitlement to a state education
- live in the home zone with a parent or guardian
- qualify for the grandparenting provision (have a sibling who was enrolled as at 1 October 2022)
- have not been excluded or expelled from another school
