Poutama Transition to School

Poutama Transition to School

At Te Ākau ki Pāpāmoa School we now have Cohort Entry for 5-year-olds.

Children are able to start school in cohorts/groups after they have turned 5.

There will be two entry points per term:

  • the first day of the Term
  • the first day of Week 6

New Entrant Team Leader, Rachel McNutt, will be in touch once you have enrolled, to set up school visits.

If you would like to discuss your child’s enrolment further, please feel free to call the office on 07 5422447 to make a time with one of the Senior Leadership Team.

Our Transition to School framework is called Poutama.

This is the step between Early Childhood Education and our school classrooms.  The purpose of this class is for children to learn about the routines and expectations at school, and for us to get to know them.  When they show readiness, we may then transition them into one of the other new entrant/Year 1 classes for the rest of the year.
