Enrolment

Pre-Enrolment

If your child will be attending Banks Avenue School please check either with the office or use the Zone Online Map Tool below, to check 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.
​
Pre Enrolment Form
Enrolment Zone
Our enrolment scheme has been reviewed by the Ministry of Education in 2020 . Below is a link to an online tool to help you work out if you are in our school zone or not.  Four easy steps:
  1. Click on the 'Zone Online Map Tool' button below.
  2. Type in your home address.  A list of nearby schools  will appear to the left of the map.
  3. Look for Pareawa Banks Avenue School in the list.
  4. Select 'Show Zoning'.  The map will show our zone and whether the address you typed in is in our zone or not.

We do not have any places available for out of zone applications unless your child is a sibling of a current pupil.

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 proof of address,  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. Tricia Carroll our Muringa Deputy Principal organises the junior school enrolments. You can contact her directly at: tcarroll@pareawabanksave.school.nz

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.

Muringa New Entrants

If your child is a new entrant they will be placed in 'Kiwakiwa' which is in the Muringa module with either Mrs Phillipa Ford or Mrs Emma Derrick. 

Muringa & Pāhake

For year 1-6 students we look at class numbers, students achievement and pastoral needs to work out the best placement for your child.
