2027 OUT OF ZONE BALLOT
At this stage, no decision has been made regarding whether an out of zone ballot will be held for 2027.  If a ballot does proceed, relevant application information will be available after 7 September.

One month before students start we ask that the following has been completed:

• All necessary forms/paper work finalised (Birth Certificate, Proof of Address (ie: utility account) and Immunisation Certificate will be required)
• Purchase stationery
• Purchase school uniform from NZ Uniforms.

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.

Meadowbank School welcomes international students and their families. International students are integrated into the appropriate year level, and they will receive additional tuition to meet their English language needs with a specialist teacher (ESOL).

The Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students gives assurances on student welfare and allows us to enrol international students.
