Thank you for considering St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School for your child’s education.

Starting school is an exciting time for both children and families.

When enrolling a child, parents or caregivers are required to complete and submit the online enrolment form. However, if you prefer to complete a hard copy enrolment form, please contact us for further information.

For preference students, parents or caregivers must obtain a Preference of Enrolment Certificate signed by the Parish Priest of their Parish. Click here to head to our Parish website to find out how to obtain a preference certificate.

As part of the Enrolment process, you will need to bring with you to an interview, copies of your child’s:

• New Zealand Birth Certificate (Preferred document of identification) or Passport
• Passport showing current residency status (if not born in NZ)
• Preference of Enrolment Certificate by your Parish Priest (for Preference Enrolments)
• Your child’s immunisation certificate

The process for enrolling at our school is:

• Complete the online enrolment form.
• Our admin team will contact you to talk you through the other requirements as listed above and make an appointment for you to meet with our Tumuaki, Jo Earl.
• Our new entrant children start in cohorts on with Week 1 or Week 6 of every term. Your child can start on the next cohort starting date after they turn five.

Cohort Entry Dates/Visits

We will contact you to organise school visits prior to your child's starting date.

Please feel free to contact our Admin team should you have any questions.

Non-preference Enrolment
Children who are not Catholic are welcomed into our school community, depending on places available (as we are only allowed 5% of our maximum roll for non-preference children).

Follow the steps above to enrol your child. Our admin team will contact you and talk you through the next steps for your child's enrolment.
