How to enrol your child

Takaanini School welcomes students between 5 - 13 yrs of age (if their 13th birthday is before 1 July) and are living in our school’s Home zone.  If you live nearby but not in our school’s home zone, you can apply for an Out of Zone Enrolment, which is offered by ballot held in March and September each year.

Your child must be a NZ Citizen, or be entitled to enrol with applicable visa documents.

If your child is about to turn 5, there are a few things you should know:

• We are a cohort school.  This means that a group of 5 year olds will start school together either at the start, or around week 6 of each school term.  

• Enrolment procedures require documentation, a meeting, and visits before your child starts school.  

• Proof of Address documents for enrolment must be less than 1 month old, so enrolment process cannot begin more than 2 months before expected start of schooling.

• If your child is already 5 years old, please continue to have them attend pre-school, daycare, or kindergarten until they start at our school.

Enrolment must be completed by your child’s legal guardian. 

Thank you for requesting an enrolment pack for your child at Takaanini School.
