Cohort entry for 5 year olds
To assist with making the transition to school for all learners go smoothly, we have a cohort entry system at school. Starting school alongside other children supports them in building relationships and helps with a happier start to school.
If you have a child who is going to start at our school, please get in touch with the school office at least ten weeks before their 5th birthday for information about enrolment and preschool visits.
There are two entry dates per term, and two preschool visits (Wednesdays) are required before the child can start in Kohekohe Learning Space. These dates are also on our school calendar.
NOTE: The Cohort Entry requirements do not apply to 5-year-old learners who have transferred from another primary school or to children who have turned 6. All learners must start school by the time they are 6.
The schedule of visit dates is listed below. All school visits are from 8:30 am - 11:00 am with exception of January 29th.
