Enrolment

New Entrant Students

Families of children who are approaching their 4th birthday and would like their child to attend Waitakere Primary School should make contact with our office so that we can determine your zone status and advise you accordingly as to next steps.

Cohort Entry

Waitakere Primary is using cohort entry, this means that children can start on one of 8 set dates throughout the year.

Once your child turns 5 you can choose any of the dates below. They can’t start before they turn 5.

There are start dates at the beginning and middle of each school term.

Cohort Entry dates for 2026

Please read below the dates for our cohort entries to school for 2026 and an invitation to parents to attend an information meeting at the beginning of the term that their child will start school.

We would like to invite you to an information meeting. These meetings are held on the first morning of each term for parents/caregivers who have a child starting school during that term. The dates are as follows-

Wednesday 4 February at 9.00 (Term 1)

Monday 20 April at 9.00 (Term 2)

Monday 20 July at 9.00 (Term 3)

Monday 12 October at 9.00 (Term 4)

We will start our meeting with a guided tour of the school led by our Year 8 student leaders. We will return to the staffroom where you will be given an overview of what school life will be like for your child. This will include school organisation, communication between home and school, class life, and procedures. You will have an opportunity to ask questions and get to meet the parents of other children who are starting school at the same time. We will end with refreshments.
