New Entrants

New Entrant children all begin their schooling in our Reception Classroom which transitions them into life at Meadowbank School.

Prior to starting school children have two visits which enables both you and your child to become familiar with the class teacher, classroom routines and environment.

Pre-school visits are held on the two Wednesday mornings before your child’s 5th birthday and they start the Monday after their 5th birthday.

Other Enrolments

Students transferring from either an overseas school or a New Zealand school, need to notify the Enrolment Officer a week prior to their arrival to ensure that all the necessary paperwork is completed in order to start school on the following Monday.

Class allocation is based on their chronological age and class sizes. Student Profiles will be requested from their previous school (New Zealand only), if transferring from overseas, please provide their latest school report.

Stationery can be purchased through the school office if required.
