Enrolment

Pre-Enrolment

If your child will be attending Banks Avenue School please check with the office that you live in our zone. If you do, we ask that you fill in a pre-enrolment form up to a year before they are due to start. This helps us to plan staffing and classes.
Enrolment Zone
Our enrolment scheme has been reviewed by the Ministry of Education. Below are the links to our school zone map and home zone description.

Enrolment

Two-three months before your child is due to start please ring the office and make an appointment with our Principal, Toni Burnside.  At this time you will be asked to fill in the formal enrolment form. You will need to bring a birth certificate, passport or Plunket book to verify your child's date of birth. Please also bring your child's immunisation record. We like children to be present at this appointment. At this time you will also be given the opportunity to be shown around our school by two of our student leaders.

If your child has educational learning support or behavioural needs please contact us at least 6 months before they are due to start. This allows us to work with you in order to plan a successful transition to school.

Pre-Entry Visits

Children will have two morning pre-entry visits. A letter will be sent to your child, with an enclosed letter for you, explaining these visits. The first visit is usually on a Friday until 12:30pm and the second visit is on a Tuesday until 1:30pm. 

Starting School

The official starting school date will be the Monday after the visits have taken place.

Finishing Time for New Entrants

We are finding that our children are benefitting from finishing at 2pm for the first couple of weeks, even if they have been at preschool full time. The class teacher will discuss your child's needs and options for finishing times with you.

Team Totara

When your child starts school they will be placed in Team Totara. To find out more about this team, click here.
