ENROLMENT AT HURUPAKI SCHOOL
Children may begin school after their fifth birthday but must, by law, be enrolled by their sixth birthday. We enrol new entrants at the beginning and middle of each term. Our school is a zoned school, which means children living in our zone are automatically granted a place. We may have some ‘out of zone’ placements from year to year.
Please get in contact with us as soon as you know you would like to attend our school as either an in zone enrolment or to apply for an out of zone placement, so that we may plan our future classes.
Then, about eight to twelve weeks before your child turns five, please contact the school to arrange an enrolment appointment. This is where you will meet the Principal or Deputy Principal, talk about your child, tour the school and meet the class. You can then also arrange visits to support successful transition for your child. We recommend three visits. This makes school familiar and easier to cope with on their first day.
