Enrolment

Enrolling at Kōwhai Specialist School

All students who attend Kōwhai Specialist School must have ORS (Ongoing Resourcing Scheme) funding.

Students who attend a specialist school also need to have a Special Education Agreement. An application for a Special Education Agreement is made to the Ministry of Education as part of the enrolment process. Some students may also be eligible for transport to and from school to be funded and provided by the Ministry of Education.

Starting or moving schools can be a big change for young people, so we aim to work closely with whānau to make the transition into our kura as smooth as possible.

Transition into Kōwhai includes the sharing of information and class visits. Our helpful staff will guide you through the process.
