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.

Netball Cancelled Wednesday 24th June 2026

24 Jun 2026

Message from Netball Committee

Kia ora koutou,

Due to the heavy rain forecast for this afternoon, I have decided to cancel netball for all grades. Therefore, there will be no netball today.

To make up for this cancelled game, all teams will play two shorter games during Week 1 of Term 3.

Reminders:
There will be no netball next week due to the Tai Mitchell tournament being held here. Good luck to all players and whānau involved in Tai Mitchell. Enjoy your tournament and do your best!

Have a well-deserved holiday, and we look forward to seeing you all again next term.

Ngā mihi,

Kelly

Parent Interviews this afternoon

24 Jun 2026

Mauri Ora Whānau,

Firstly, thank you to all the families who attended our parent interviews yesterday. We appreciate the time you took to meet with our teachers and discuss your child's learning and progress.

If you were unable to attend, there are still interview time slots available for this afternoon. We encourage you to take this opportunity to connect with your child's teacher.

Our teachers have been working hard to implement the new Ministry of Education reporting system, preparing student reports and getting their classrooms ready for these important conversations. Attending your child's interview is a great way to acknowledge and support the effort they have put into ensuring your child receives the best possible learning experience.

Mā whero, mā pango ka oti te mahi – through working together, the work is completed. By collaborating as whānau and school, we can achieve the best outcomes for our students.

Ngā mihi nui,

Whaea Ramia.
