ENROLMENT
Starting school is an exciting time and an important milestone in your child’s life and maybe also your life – particularly if this is your first child to come to school.
We look forward to working with you and your child to make the transition from preschool to school a positive experience.
The staff at Wainuioru School welcome you, your family and your five year old, and recognise the importance of a smooth transition into school.
At Wainuioru School we have an open door policy and see communication between home and school as an integral part of your child’s learning. If you have any questions, please come and see us so we can discuss these.
If this is your first child at school often it is new for you as a parent as well as so much has changed perhaps since you were last a student. Some children are comfortable and gain confidence quickly while it is natural for some to take a little longer to settle into school life.
We recognise that children bring many different skills and experiences to school with them so along with the literacy and numeracy skills that are focused on in the first year, we encourage the children to begin to develop the key competencies through our school programmes. These are the skills identified in the New Zealand Curriculum that they will need to be successful life-long learners. Thinking, Relating to others, Using language, symbols, and texts, Managing self, Participating and contributing

OUR ENROLMENT ZONE
Home Zone
All students who live within the home zone described below (and shown on the attached map) shall be eligible to enrol at the school.
This includes children who live within the area enclosed by:
Both sides of Lee Pakaraka Road
All of Masterton Stronvar Road from Masterton/Castlepoint Road turn off to Ngahape
Ngaumu Road, Motukai Road and Te Maipi Road
Masterton/Castlepoint Road from the Stronvar turn off to Tauweru as far as Te Parae Road
Both sides of Te Parae Road
Both sides of Westmere Road
Transport Entitlement Zone
Transport Entitlement Zone(TEZ) maps are drawn based on the halfway points between schools of the same type
that offer the same year level education. A school can have more than one TEZ depending on its type and the schools that are its nearest neighbours. For example, a full primary school (year 1
to 8) may have one TEZ for year 1 to 6 students and one for year 7
and 8 students.
TEZs establish the area within which students can receive school transport assistance to a particular school. To be eligible to
receive assistance, however, a student must live further than 3.2 kilometres (if under 10) or 4.8 kilometres (if 10 or over) from their nearest appropriate school. If a student is eligible for school transport assistance, they have a ‘ticket to ride’ within the zone
of the school attended regardless of whether or not that school is
his or her nearest.
Out of Zone
