Enrolments at Papamoa School

Papamoa School has an enrolment zone in place. Our zone commences at 175 and 180 Dickson Road, and 736 Papamoa Beach Road, and it extends eastwards to the end of Papamoa.   Parton Rd, Bell Rd and Tara Road, to Number 118, including any subdivisions accessing these roads, are in our zone .  State Highway 2 from its junction with Domain Road to its junction with Bell Road and Welcome Bay Road, to and including Reid Road and Taranaki Lane, are also in our zone.   Proof of residence within this zone will be required. Check the following link for more details and map: Zone Details and Map

Five year olds and children attending school for the first time in New Zealand need verification of birth - a Birth Certificate or Passport; and a Plunket Book or Immunisation Certificate.  If you have moved to Papamoa from overseas, our office staff can tell you about any extra documentation you may require.

For parents of pre-schoolers, you can assist our classroom planning by letting us know well ahead of time if your children will be attending our school.   Parents are encouraged to bring their children along for two pre-school visits just before they turn five to meet the New Entrant teachers and spend some time in the classroom. The office staff can give you more information about these visits.

For enrolments, or further information, please contact the school office on (07)542-0865 or email admin@papamoa.school.nz.
