Enrolment
Starting School as a New Entrant
Please let the school know about children likely to start as a 5 year old as soon as practicable. This information influences the class structure we run and allows us to plan for roll growth. You are welcome to make an appointment to chat with the Principal and we encourage you to make use of the playground during weekends, school holidays and after school so your child becomes accustomed to the school environment.
Once the school has your enrolment form, the new entrant teacher will contact you to arrange some transition pre-entry visits, approximately six -seven weeks before your child is due to start school. To learn more about the enrolment process or if you would just like to chat about any concerns you may have, please phone the school office on 318 3713 or email: karen@sheffieldprimary.school.nz
