The Board of trustees has determined there will be 3 places available in the Special Programme – Te Pukenga at Cashmere High School in 2027. These will be allocated as per the Enrolment procedures for Special Programme - Te Pukenga which came into effect 1 May 2022. 2027 applications are to be made by Friday 24 July and are to be made either online or using a Cashmere High School 2027 enrolment form. 

In addition to this the Board of Trustees is advertising one place currently available to a student who meets the criteria for enrolment at Year 9 or above as of 1 February 2026.

Each year the Board will determine the number of places that are likely to be available in the programme for the following year. If there are places available, the Board will publish this information by way of a notice in a daily or community newspaper, and on the school website. The notice will indicate how applications are to be made and will specify a date by which applications must be received.
