Enrolment Process

When enrolling your child, please come to the school office where you will be welcomed by Briar Thomas our School Administrator, who processes most enrolments. It is not necessary, to make an appointment for this.

You are also welcome to email us at admin@morningside.ac.nz

When enrolling a new entrant for the first time it is a legal requirement that we receive a copy of your child's birth certificate or passport, and an up to date Immunisation Certificate.

A month before children turn five, it is desirable that pre-enrolment visits are organised. These visits are very helpful in ensuring a smooth transition to school for our 5 year old children. Visits are arranged with our New Entrant Teacher, and generally take place on Thursday mornings. It is a requirement that a parent or caregiver stays with their child during these visits.

For enrolment of older children, please contact the school office to arrange an individual interview with our principal, David Prchal. It is helpful if you are able to bring a copy of your child's latest school report to this interview.
