Enrolments

All students enrolling at Totara Grove School need to have a Birth Certificates.  A child cannot start school until an original birth certificate has been sighted.  New Entrant children are encouraged to enrol three weeks before their birthday so that they can arrange pre-entry visits, held between 9.00am and 11.00am.  This will help them to settle into school.  Children enrolling from another school will also need to have their Birth Certificate when enrolling. They will be able to start school the day following enrolment or at a later date as arranged with the office.

Please contact the school office on (09) 435 0019 or email office@totaragrove.school.nz for further information.  You will also need to provide proof of address and your child’s immunisation details.
