Enrolments

The process of enrolling your child into a new school can be stressful, it can be quite lengthy and involve considerable paperwork. In an effort to move towards a less complicated digital learning environment, Kaipara College is planning for all enrolment, health and safety, and consent/permission related documentation to be on line by the beginning of the 2019 school year.

Please find among the 'Enrolments' pages all the necessary paperwork (pdfs) and information to help you through the process. Of course, we encourage our families and whānau to feel welcome to come into the school at any time. If you would prefer an appointment with a senior leadership member then please email the school to arrange a time to visit us.

Students

Like any school, Kaipara College places the students in the centre of every decision it makes and all actions it takes. This page focuses on services directly available for our students, including our outstanding and comprehensive student support services. We also introduce our professionally and beyond school relevant, Careers Centre.
The additional support provided for students with special or specific learning support requirements is also introduced here.
At Kaipara College we understand that a school is a place full of individuals, and our supports and services are designed to cater for the individual needs of each student.
