Important Notes
Home-Educated Students
Students enrolled at a New Zealand secondary school normally register through their school. Approved home-school and overseas-student routes are handled separately by EONZ.
Schools are not required to invigilate the at-home School Round. EONZ manages examination delivery, support, results and all later stages.
Home-educated students must contact EONZ before registering so that their eligibility can be verified and an appropriate registration process is arranged.
The School Round is free during standard registration. Late registration is subject to capacity and a late-registration fee.
Ensure all student information is accurate before submission. EONZ may contact schools to confirm or correct details.
New Zealand Passport Holders Studying Overseas
Students will receive examination instructions directly from EONZ closer to the School Round date.
No registration is complete until all required information and any applicable payment have been received.
New Zealand passport holders studying overseas should contact EONZ directly for the approved overseas-student registration route.
After Submission
Once your registration is submitted successfully, your school will receive:
A confirmation email with registration reference.
Examination instructions and key information closer to the date.
Important updates and reminders from EONZ.
Any correction requests if additional information is requred.
Frequently Asked Questions

Does the school need to supervise the exam? After your submission, EONZ will manage the School Round, from sending Exam Instructions, invigilation, and the competition outcomes.
How are home-educated students registered? Home-educated students must contact EONZ before registering so that their eligibility can be verified and an appropriate registration process is arranged.
Student Data & Privacy
EONZ collects a minimal amount of student information solely for the purpose of administering the competition.
The information requested from participating schools may include:
• Student name
• Date of birth
• Year Level
• Student email address
This information is used only for:
• participant registration
• exam administration
• communication regarding the competition
• qualification for the National Final Round
EONZ does not collect unnecessary personal data, and all information provided by schools is handled responsibly and used exclusively for competition-related purposes.
EONZ does not share student personal data with third parties except where necessary for the administration of the competition.
When announcing results or publishing lists of qualifying students, personal data will be partially anonymised.
Public competition results use Candidate IDs rather than student names unless separate written publication consent has been obtained.
Students will also be required to agree to the Economics Olympiad (EO) GDPR data processing agreement when accessing the official EO testing platform for the School Round.
