Enrolment Requirements

When a parent enrols a child at our school, certain important details are requested. Preferably this enrolment should be carried out at least two weeks before the day the child starts school. This allows for some familiarisation before the ‘big day' when he/she arrives to stay.

Pre-entry visits - A pre-entry morning visit is recommended for a new entrant. This is usually arranged for a week to 10 days before the starting date, and is booked through the school office. If the parent and teacher feel that more visits are needed this is discussed and arranged after the first visit.

When you do arrive for the first day in the class, you are welcome to stay awhile, but we would ask you to use your discretion about going, should your child begin to be unsettled.

Please bring with you on enrolment day, the child's BIRTH CERTIFICATE and IMMUNISATION CARD. This is a Ministry of Education requirement. You will be given -
(a) Health Card to be completed by you. (Perhaps with the aid of your family doctor.)
(b) An enrolment form to fill out and return.
(c) A PTA and Phone Network contact form to fill out and return.

Once your child begins in the New Entrant class, they will finish school at 2.00pm for the first 6 weeks. Experience has taught us that this assists in overcoming tiredness and that children are usually not able to concentrate fully during the afternoon programme until they have adjusted to school.
