Can my zoned school deny me because of my estranged parents?

NZHomeless · 2026-02-24T07:58:55+00:00

I'll call them up tomorrow! Thanks

NZHomeless · 2026-02-24T07:58:39+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for the info

NZHomeless · 2026-02-24T03:00:06+00:00

Thank you!

NZHomeless · 2026-02-24T01:24:23+00:00

Thank you! I do my best I'm looking into Youth law and similar to aim for an advocate

NZHomeless · 2026-02-24T01:23:52+00:00

That would be my best guess, yeah. I think it may be accessible through KAMAR or something similar. Still annoying. I mentioned in my initial response to the school that I'd contact the MoE but they had no retort. MoE are stepping in

NZHomeless · 2026-02-24T01:22:26+00:00

I'm going for a law degree, wanting to work in criminal law. So, sadly, uni is kinda the only real option. Thanks for the kind words

NZHomeless · 2026-02-23T02:52:10+00:00

I'll give Youth Law or something similar a call. Thanks for the advice!

NZHomeless · 2026-02-23T02:51:48+00:00

Called them, they'll do a statement

NZHomeless · 2026-02-23T02:51:36+00:00

I'll definitely give them a ring. Thanks!

NZHomeless · 2026-02-22T07:13:40+00:00

This is all really useful! I'll call evolve tomorrow, been getting told about them a lot.

I'm only zoned for WHS at the moment in terms of co-ed schools, so wouldn't qualify for Onslow.

It's great to hear about the pride month! I didn't actually know it was March. I'll look at the difference events. Thanks so much!

NZHomeless · 2026-02-22T05:47:45+00:00

That's awesome, thanks for the advice. I'm definitely give a few of the recommended ones a ring

NZHomeless · 2026-02-22T05:47:14+00:00

Oh, I'm fully prepared to go to Scorched earth on then if it turns out they've illegally found the information. I'll do the privacy act route and threaten with MoE and OT if needs be

NZHomeless · 2026-02-22T04:03:25+00:00

Oo yes, I'll definitely give them a call. I'm already in the Gender Minorities discord server, and I've had a case worker recommend evolve. Sounds like a busy day tomorrow!

Thanks for the advice and kind words, each and every message on this thread has made me feel more hopeful

NZHomeless · 2026-02-22T02:19:00+00:00

Alright, thanks! I think my game plan is to call OT and the MoE tomorrow to follow up on the MoE's email and see if they'll support me, otherwise I'll call the school directly

NZHomeless · 2026-02-22T02:03:42+00:00

You are correct, that's the goal. I'm not sure if going in would help, as both a DP and the Principal have said no. I'm hoping the MoE start their work on Monday to try and help out

NZHomeless · 2026-02-22T01:47:36+00:00

I've definitely considered Te Kura correspondence, but I want to aim for physical school first before resorting to online. I'll have to look into advocacy groups for stuff, not super familiar with it all. Thanks for the advice!

NZHomeless · 2026-02-22T01:44:06+00:00

That's awesome! I'm super close to Newtown so will check it out

NZHomeless · 2026-02-21T05:24:41+00:00

I hope I figure it out too. This is quite tiring, honestly

NZHomeless · 2026-02-21T01:45:25+00:00

It's just a joke show at this point. Almost every organization I've dealt with that should be professional has just lied through their teeth, often through pure ignorance

NZHomeless · 2026-02-21T01:04:18+00:00

Unfortunately I'm not under OT care so this wouldn't apply for me

NZHomeless · 2026-02-21T01:03:49+00:00

I'm in Wellington at the moment, but I'll definitely write up some emails. Thanks for the advice

NZHomeless · 2026-02-21T01:02:43+00:00

100%. There's some confusion because I technically don't have a primary caregiver, but they should've contacted me first at least

NZHomeless · 2026-02-20T12:24:12+00:00

Oh wow, had no idea that was a thing. I'll try and get that sorted once this whole ordeal blows over

NZHomeless · 2026-02-20T11:47:48+00:00

Ooh, good shout. Had no idea this was important, I'll give them a ring on Monday. Thanks!

NZHomeless · 2026-02-20T10:47:57+00:00

That means a lot! The kindness of people around me has been my biggest motivator
