Pre School Enrolment Information

We warmly welcome all new entrants to join us for pre-school visits before they officially start at Te Kopuru School. These visits help your child feel comfortable and confident as they begin their exciting school journey. The process will begin gradually, starting six weeks before your child’s fifth birthday, ensuring a smooth transition into school life.

If you have a pre-schooler, please get in touch with us to arrange visits and receive an Information Package. We look forward to working closely with you and your child to make their start at school as enjoyable as possible.

Important: Please bring your child’s Birth Certificate and Immunisation Certificate on the day of enrolment, as required by the Ministry of Education.
