Enrolling Your Child At Owairaka
It is a very easy process to enrol at our wonderful school.  Just make an appointment to see someone on the Senior Management Team by ringing the school office.  If your child is 5 then you will need to bring in his or her Birth Certificate.  Your child can visit with Mum, Dad or a Caregiver two or three times before they start school.  On your first visit, forms will be filled out with information about your child.  You are also given a folder of information about Owairaka School.
After School Care Programme
The school offers an after school care service on a daily basis from 3.00 - 5.30pm.  A fully qualified supervisor provides activities and supervision for children in the school hall.  An assistant supervisor attends if 15 or more children are present.  The cost is $6.00 per child per afternoon for children who are regular attendees and $7.00 per child per afternoon for casual attendance.  There is also an up to one hour rate from 3.00 - 4.00pm of $4.00 or $5.00 with afternoon tea.
