Rāwhiti School has adopted a cohort entry system. This means that there are only two start dates each term for new entrants:
- The first day of each term
- The mid-point during a term, usually the first school day in Week 6.
This could mean that a child may not start school on their 5th birthday so this is something parents should be mindful of when preparing their child for their starting date. Children can remain at their ECE until the intake after their fifth birthday and they will continue to receive funding to attend ECE until they start school.
The cohort entry dates for new entrants in 2024 are as follows:
|
