Enrolment Information

Welcome to West Spreydon School.

We trust you find the information contained in our

enrollment package helpful.Should you have any

questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

No question is ever too small.

We welcome visitors to our School.

When children are enrolled all family members are offered a guided tour of the school by the Principal to see the facilities offered and to ask any questions. Children will also be introduced to their Classroom Teacher and Support Staff they will be working with.

For the first week new children are also ‘buddied’ up with a classmate to help and support with orientation.

Enrolling as an International Student

All New Zealand children enrolled at a State School are entitled to a ‘free education’. State schools are funded by the Government and teachers are paid by a Central Government pay service.

International students do not qualify for ‘free’ education and are required to pay a fee.

The fee set by the West Spreydon Board of Trustees includes:

· The cost of employing extra staff

· ESOL (English lessons for children who have English as their Second Language)

This is a standard requirement at West Spreydon School and can be re-assessed on a term by term basis.
