If you intend to enroll your child at Kilbirnie School, we encourage you to let us know early as this helps us with resource planning for the year. 

New Entrants

We ask that you complete a pre-enrolment form when your child is 4 years old. This includes the Early Childhood Education Participation form, which is a Government requirement for any new entrant into a New Zealand school, as well as provides us with some ESOL information as needed.

• Once we know that you intend for your child to join the school, there will be several opportunities to get to know our school better before your child starts school.
• Learn about the Ngake Hub and how the classes/years are structured
• Learn about the school day for new entrants
• How you can prepare your child for starting school.
• An Information Pack about the school.
• The Donation Request form.

Kilbirnie School has an enrolment scheme to limit overcrowding at the school and give priority to children living in the enrolment zone.

• Details of the enrolment scheme and its operation.
• The school zone website gives you information about school zones for New Zealand schools. You can search by your home address to confirm that you are eligible to enrol at Kilbirnie School.
