Enrolment Procedures

To help with our planning, we encourage you to enrol your child at least 3 months before they are due to start school.
All children in New Zealand are eligible to commence school on the day of their 5th birthday.

When enrolling at Dominion Road School you will need to bring the following with you:

a copy of your childs birth certificate
a copy of their immunisation certificate
their passport (if they were born overseas)
your passport if you - their parent - were born overseas.

Turning 5 in December?

If your child will turn 5 in the last 2 weeks of the school year, we recommend they begin at Dominion Road School in the first week of the first term of the following year.

School Visits

Upon enrolment in our school you will be sent a letter approximately 4 weeks prior to the date your child is expected to start school, regarding pre-entry visits. These visits are held in the new-entrants classroom and are designed to familiarise your child with the school routine. These visits are held each Thursday from 9.00am - 10.30am. A parent or caregiver is required to stay with the child during these visits.

New Parents Morning Tea

A new parent morning tea is held every term. This is an opportunity to find out about our school, our curriculum and your child's progress.
