Enrolling
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. You will also need to complete the Early Childhood Education Participation form, which is a Government requirement for any new entrant into a New Zealand school. This form also includes some ESOL information.
- 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.
