Enrolment

Enrolment procedure
Children can be enrolled at a New Zealand state primary school from their fifth birthday. Education becomes compulsory at age six. Children fourteen years and over attend secondary school. Education for New Zealand children remains compulsory until the age of sixteen.
To enrol at Paparoa Street School you must approach the Principal with a request for enrolment. Paparoa Street School is a state school and our first priority is to cater for resident students in years 0 to 6.

A request for enrolment can be made by e-mailing the School Office:
office@paparoastreet.school.nz

If we have a place is available at your child’s age and class level you may be offered a place.
The details completed in the ‘Offer of a Place’ form are required by New Zealand Immigration for the issuing of a student visa or permit. You may like to visit the New Zealand Immigration website for more information about the student visa or permit at:www.immigration.govt.nz

For the school you will be asked to complete a student enrolment form, which provides information about your child and your family. Full contact details for both the parents and the legal guardian must be provided.
At the time of enrolment you must have the child’s passport with you, and evidence of medical and travel insurance.
