Enrolment at Whatawhata School!
Our Enrolment scheme/Out of Zone Enrolments…
We have an enrolment scheme in place due to the rapid growth in our area.
Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available from the school office.
Because the board operates an enrolment scheme, it is required to fill any vacant out-of-zone places by ballot in cases where there are more applications for enrolment than there are places available.
The Board of Whatawhata School is inviting Out of Zone applications for students starting school in Term 3 and 4, 2025. We currently have the following spaces available:
5 places for Year 0-1 students (5 year olds)
Important Dates:
Application Deadline: 3 pm, Friday 6 June
Ballot (if required): Monday 9 June
Outcome Notification: Wednesday 12 June
Ph 07 889 7780 or email office@whatawhata.school.nz
Any queries can be sent to principal@whatawhata.school.nz
Spaces for each enrolment period are not guaranteed and will depend on in zone enrolments. Number of spaces will be notified prior to each enrolment period.
