Enrolment at Te Uku School

Enrolment information

It is helpful to know of any expected enrolments well in advance. For a new entrant, pre-enrol when your child turns 4. This helps us know when you are coming. Te Uku School is a 'full' primary school as we cover Years 0-8.  Year 0 students are new entrants that start primary school in the second half of the year, and move into Year 1 the following year. Our cut off date is the 1st of July each year.

Tour of the school

We are very proud of our school. Please contact us and arrange a visit of our school. This helps you get a feel of the place. Come and see who we are and what makes Te Uku School so special. You can see the classrooms in action and ask any questions you may have.

Te Uku School is governed by an enrolment scheme. The enrolment scheme came into effect on 7 February 2024.
