ENROLMENT

Your child can start at our kura between age five and six. All children must be enrolled at school by their sixth birthday.

When your child has started at kura, they must attend school every day. This is a change from the earlier rule, where regular attendance was required only from age six.

Enrolling early helps kaiako at our kura with their planning. You are welcome to enrol your child by calling in or ringing the office to arrange a time for your child to start or arrange some visits to get your child used to or kura.

You can enrol directly at kura or contact the office to find out the enrolment process, and to get enrolment forms.

The following paperwork is required:

• a copy of your child’s birth certificate or passport as proof of age

• medical information including your doctor’s contact details

• any legal documents, for example, custody or access agreements the school should know about

• if your child has been enrolled in early childhood education, their National Student Number (NSN), and ECE leaver’s record
