Determine the periods during which applications will be accepted and advertise ballot dates. Applications will be accepted in terms of this scheme once it has been notified in accordance with Section 11 of the Education Amendment Act 2000.
Check out the community page of this website and look under After School Activities. These programmes include the after school care and holiday care programmes. Presently we have programmes for Art, Drama and Recorder and you can also read about our in-school piano,band and guitar lessons.
Schools are funded on their March and July pupil number rolls. It is important we have fairly accurate data to determine class numbers at least one year out from these rolls and it also helps to determine if we have any ballot places.
If you have a problem in the class, see the class teacher first.
If you still feel your problem is not resolved, then please see the team leader of the syndicate.
Following that, you can make an appointment to see either the Principal or a Deputy Principal.
If the issue is about learning difficulties, please contact Susan Robins to make an appointment.
Either phone 09 376 3568 or send her an email. Susan has contacts with many organisations who deal with learning difficulties and disabilities.
If you are wanting to know about assessment and whether your child is fitting within, below, or above age appropriate expectation, please contact our office to make an appointment with your child’s teacher.
Alternatively you can contact to make an appointment to meet Francis Naera. Either phone 09 376 3568 or
send him an email. Francis is one of our fabulous Deputy Principals.
Any issues about enrichment programmes or just school wide general concerns or needing information please contact the Principal Sanjay Rama.
