Enrolment at Maori Hill School is governed by an enrolment scheme.  The details of the school's scheme are available from the school office.  If you would like to enrol your child at Maori Hill School please ring to make an appointment or have an enrolment pack sent to you.   We would love to have you visit to view our school or you may wish to attend our pre school transition programme Funtastic Fridays.  We currently have 9 classes with a school roll that ranges between 210 - 250 children. 

Most children are enrolled at school on or just following their 5th birthday.  We cannot enrol children before the age of 5 and you must have them enrolled by the age of 6 years.  It is helpful to us if you are able to bring along the competed enrolment form and a copy of your child's birth certificate and Plunket book prior to your child's starting day.

We are required to verify the correct date of birth of all new entrants.  We are also required to keep a register of  immunisation status.  Your Plunket book will contain the necessary immunisation information or you can request an immunisation certificate from your doctor.
