There will be three tour sessions running at 9.30am, 11.30am and 2pm. Registration is not necessary for these tours. All prospective parents, whanau and students are welcome.

2025 enrolments will open online here on the morning of Monday, 4th August and close on Friday 13th September at 4pm.
All students that live in our zone receive automatic enrolment. The number of Out of Zone enrolments we are able to accept is determined by the number of in zone enrolments we receive.

Our ballot is drawn in the following order of priority (this priority order is set by the Ministry of Education):
First priority must be given to any applicant who is accepted for enrolment in a special programme run by the school
Second priority must be given to any applicant who is the sibling of a current student of the school
Third priority must be given to any student who is the sibling of a former student of the school
Fourth priority must be given to any applicant who is a child of a former student of the school
Fifth priority must be given to any applicant who is either a child of an employee of the board of the school or a child of a member of the board of the school
Sixth priority must be given to all other applicants.
All applicants will be notified via email on Thursday 19th September of their enrolment outcome.

School Activity Fee
The Board of Trustees has approved a voluntary family donation of $85.00 per child, and in addition, an activity fee of $135.00. In total, $220.00 per child is requested.
The activity fee pays for: the materials children use in specialist technology rooms; IT consumables and resources; and the range of extra curricular learning and cultural programmes that this school provides.
The Board of Trustees has decided that parents/ caregivers who pay the school donation and activity fee by 31st March 2024 will receive a stationery pack (valued at $35) for free.
Note: To get this benefit, both the school donation and activity fee (totalling $220) must be paid together. This offer ends 31 March 2024.
