Enrolments

"Woodlands School invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their child/ren at Woodlands School for next term and 2026 in Years 0 to 8.

Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available at the Woodlands School Office.
Application forms are to be collected from the Woodlands School Office or by emailing tumuaki@woodlands.school.nz
The deadline for receipt of applications for out-of-zone places is 17/10/25.
Due to the large Year 8 cohort leaving at the end of the year, we have determined that 15 places are likely to be available for out-of-zone students next term and 2026 in Years 0-8.
The exact number of places will depend on the number of enrolments from students who live within the Woodlands School zone.
If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot is required, it will be held on 20/10/25.
Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three days of the ballot being held."

	Academic achievement above the national norm.
	An individualised new entrant transition programme. We will work with parents/whanau to develop a transition programme that suits individual needs.
	We are a Positive Behaviour 4 Learning (PB4L) school. This means we teach students social skills and our expectations around behaviour are clear and consistent.
	Restorative Practice is the approach we use to deal with conflict, such as teasing or fights between peers so students are held accountable for their actions and learn from their mistakes.
	A KiVA Anti – Bullying School, which means students have weekly lessons on how to be nice to others, prevent bullying, be an upstander and what to do when bullying occurs.
	The school’s beautiful safe physical environment supports creative play at morning tea and lunch times.
	A specialist Special Education Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO).
	Our new entrant classes are a combination of a play based approach and a more traditional approach.
	A bicultural environment within the school.
	We are well resourced with sports and outdoor education equipment.
