Enrolling your child
At Ngaere School we aim to do our best to ensure a smooth start for all our new students.
The following documentation is required by the school prior to any child starting:

• immunisation certificate
• birth certificate or passport
• proof of address (for in zone enrollments)
• completed enrollment form (available from the office or copy the link at the bottom of the page and complete online)

Information for new entrant families
To help with the smooth transition to school, for new entrant children, please visit the school at least 1 month before your child’s 5th birthday to complete the enrolment details.
The new entrant teacher will arrange pre school visits for you and your child at a mutually agreed time. Both you and your child will be able to:

• see the room where your child will be starting school
• meet the teacher
• meet the other students in the class
• find out where the toilets are
• be introduced to some of the routines of the classroom programme
• become familiar with the school day

School visits are usually for a morning. Your child may come in school uniform or mufti. Parents are welcome to stay for the pre school visits but if your child is settled then you are equally welcome to leave them for the duration of the visit.
