ADMISSIONS POLICY

ZNHS is a DepEd abiding school. Enrollees are admitted provided they participate in all DepEd mandated activities that are required of the students. Pursuant to the Constitutional mandate for the provision of free public education at the elementary and secondary levels and to meet the country’s targets in the Education For All (EFA) Plan 2015 and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) with respect to primary school participation there is an urgent need to remove obstacles, both financial and non-financial, to the enrolment and continued schooling of school-aged children.

Accordingly, the following policies shall be strictly observed:
 

1. I. Collection of School Contributions

1. a. No fees shall be collected from schoolchildren enrolling in Grade 7 JSH up to Grade 11 SHS, during the enrolment period and at any time during the schoolyear. This prohibition shall cover, among others, the authorized but voluntary contributions such as BSP, GSP, Red Cross, Anti-TB Fund and PTCA;

1. b. For all grade levels , no collection of any type should be undertaken during the enrolment period and the first month of classes. Starting on the second month, contributions for the following may be collected, but only on a voluntary basis:

•  Boy/Girl Scouts Membership
• Red Cross Membership
• Anti-TB Fund Drive
• PTCA
• School Publication
• Membership in student organizations

1. c. PTCAs may start their collection only after presenting to their members and to the school administration a report on the utilization of the previous schoolyear’s collections. The amount of contributions to the PTCA shall be agreed upon in a general assembly of the PTCA;

1. d. The school publication fee shall be set at the school level but shall not be more than Sixty Pesos (PhP60.00) per elementary school pupil and Ninety Pesos (PhP90.00) per secondary school student. The publication of a school newspaper, while not mandatory, is strongly encouraged, particularly at the secondary level in line with the campus journalism program; and

1. e. The membership fees for student organization shall be set by the organization subject to existing school policies on student organizations.
    

1. II. Enrollment

1. a. Students who are promoted to the next grade level are considered automatically enrolled for the coming schoolyear in the same school. Only students entering grade 7 Junior high school, Grade 11 Senior High School and transferees from another public school or a private school need to enroll during the enrolment period. Returning pupils/students shall report to school only for sectioning purposes or any other pre-opening preparations as determined by the school administrators;

1. b. Students who graduated from elementary and secondary with complete credentials and necessary documents (see enrollment requirements ) are eligible for enrolment in Grade 7 JHS and Grade 11 SHS. The birth certificate from NSO of the student shall be the documentary basis for admission. In case this is not available, a joint affidavit attesting to the birth of the child executed by two disinterested persons may be submitted, subject to submission of his/her birth certificate thereafter;

1. c. Students who wish to transfer to a public school from another public school or from private school should bring the Form 138 (Report Card) to the school where they intend to transfer. If this document is not available, the child can be admitted on condition that the Report Card shall be submitted not later than the end of the First Grading Period;

1. d. Class sizes shall range from a minimum of 45 students to a maximum of 60 students per class; and

1. e. Pursuant to the specific provision of DepED Order No. 32, s. 2003 giving priority preference for admission to those new entrants who are residents of the locality where the school is located, subject to the reasonable threshold ratio of students per teacher as stated above is retained.

• 1. The applicant must have a general average of at least 75% with no grade lower than 75% in any subject and in conduct during any grading period.

• 2. Former ZNHS students who left without conditions and have been out for at least 2 years are classified as transferees when they come back and must undergo the usual procedure for application.
