Overview

Schools and kura can submit the following applications online, via your Education Sector Logon (ESL):

• The Ongoing Resourcing Scheme (ORS)

• The School High Health Needs Fund.

You can save your online application as you go and submit it securely once completed. On submission, your application is sent to the Ministry of Education for assessment.

From mid-November, schools, kura and early learning services will be able to submit Requests for Learning Support (RFS) and related property modifications online.

Benefits of applying online

Digitising requests for learning support will:

• introduce a consistent, nationwide process

• reduce paper and email-based processes, improving data security and privacy

• reduce manual entry and potential for errors – some fields, such as your school will be populated for you

• improve workflow and efficiency. 

This will ultimately support a consistent experience and improved responsiveness to learners and their whānau.

Parents and others who wish to submit an application for the ORS but do not have an Education Sector Logon can apply via the process outlined on the Ministry website: Apply for the Ongoing Resourcing Scheme for school students - Ministry of Education
