We welcome children to Hauraki School and, providing space is available, a new student is generally able to start immediately once an enrolment form is completed.

Children turning five years of age will normally begin school on the Monday immediately following their birthday but if a parent specially requests that they begin on their birthday this will be accommodated. To assist with transition to school, two visits for the child and parent normally take place on the mornings of the first Tuesday and Thursday of the month in which they turn five. A parent meeting to outline general school procedures normally takes place on the Thursday immediately after the second visit. Children beginning school at the start of a year will have the opportunity for their two school visits at the end of the preceding year. The parent meeting for these children will normally take place on Teacher-Only Day at the very beginning of the new school year.

Dates and times of visits will be provided in writing once the enrolment form is received, and at least three weeks before the event. At the commencement of the school year local kindergartens will be provided with details of the above information. Open days are held at the school at least three times a year. Parents, however, are welcome to visit the school at any other time to meet with the Principal and/or enjoy a tour of the school and to see programmes in action.

Our aim is to make the transition to school a positive one and as smooth as possible.

To enrol, download the enrolment form and post it to Hauraki School once it is completed. 

Non-resident international students can find out more enrolment information in the International Students section.

Donation Structure

Donations are essential to keep our school operating to the high standard expected by the community, as we are designated a Decile 10 school and therefore receive the minimum amount of government funding. 

Donations are currently set at $250.00 for the first child in a family per annum and $225.00 for each subsequent child. This is normally paid at the beginning of the school year.

If preferred, payment can be made at the beginning of each of the four terms which is set at $75.00 per term for the first child and $60.00 for each subsequent child.

Fees for students without residency are $8,000 per annum plus a $2,000 enrolment fee.  Please visit our International Students section for more details on non-resident enrolment.

Any family experiencing difficulty with the payment of fees or donations should contact the School Office or Principal.
