ENROLMENT
When should I enrol my child?
Your child can start kura (school) in New Zealand between age 5 and 6. All children must be enrolled at school by their sixth birthday.
Enrolling (or expressing your interest to enrol) early helps us with our planning for classrooms and kaiako.
How do I enrol my child?
Enrolments are made by getting in touch with our school administration team in the front office. Our team can organise the paperwork required to enrol your child and assist with any questions you may have.
I have seen your kura online and I would like to check out the grounds before enrol, can I have a tour?
Of course! We would love to invite you to come have a look around our kura. If you get in touch with our school office, we can arrange a time with you to walk around with our Prinicpal and/or Deputy Principal and they are happy to answer any questions you may have.
We have two learning environments: Ākonga Māori and Mainstream. We encourage you to view both before making the final decision about where your child would be most suited to learn and thrive in.
On these tours, you can bring in your child too or just yourself. Whatever is easy for you.

SCHOOL VISITS (once enrolled)
We encourage all tamariki to have at least three visits to our kura before they start. This helps your child to become familiar with their new learning space, form relationships with their peers and kaiako and begin to understand routines and school life.
These visits are made by the school office with consultation with kaiako and whānau.
Due to tamariki only being four years old, they must have a parent or family member or ECE teacher onsite during the visit. They are not required to be in the classroom and may bring work or a book and sit in the staffroom during the visit.
