Student Type

Type of student for funding purposes. The NZ MOE uses this information to prepare staff resourcing plans.

Students can only be allocated to one code, even though they may belong to more than one group. To allocate a student type, start at the top of the list and work down. Use the first code that applies to this student.

For details, see Student type in the in the Roll returns manual.

Resource Level

Level of resources required for students identified in the Ongoing and Reviewable Resourcing Scheme (ORRS).

For details, see Zone status in the Roll returns manual.

There should be no duplicate codes in Ethnic Group 1, 2 or 3.
