Pre-Enrolment and Enrolment Process

Manukau Christian School has an open enrolment policy with no zoning restrictions. We recommend pre-enrolling as early as possible—up to five years in advance—if you anticipate your child attending in the future.

Step 1: Learn About Our School

  • Read our Prospectus online or request a printed copy by emailing the office.
  • Visit our school for a personal tour to see classroom programmes in action and collect an Enrolment Pack.

Step 2: Submit an Enrolment Application

Complete and return the following to the school office (documents may be emailed):

  1. Application for Enrolment form (download or request a copy).
  2. Birth Certificate or Passport copy (include residency document if using a foreign passport).
  3. Most recent school report (for students in Year 2 and above).
  4. Payment of the non-refundable application fee.

Please note: Submission of an application does not guarantee placement.

Step 3: Enrolment Assessment and Acceptance

  • We acknowledge receipt of your application.
  • An assessment is conducted, and a meeting with the Principal is scheduled.
  • You will be notified of acceptance.
  • The Enrolment Fee must be paid within seven days of acceptance.
Once enrolled, your family becomes part of the Friends of Manukau Christian School community, keeping you informed about school events and activities. You’re welcome to visit and observe classroom learning—please contact the office to arrange a visit.

International Students

If you are an international student, please refer to the International Students section on our website.  International students must complete: 

  1. An Application for Enrolment form,

Enrolment Priority
 
The Board runs an enrolment list of potential students to be granted future enrolment and entrance to the school. We recommend that you complete the enrolment application as soon as possible to ensure your child is on the waiting list.   Successful applicants to the enrolment list are prioritised according to the following criteria:  
 
The Board gives top priority of admission to siblings of students already enrolled or who have brothers or sisters who are alumni of the School. Children whose parents attended Manukau Christian School have an automatic right of enrolment in the School.

A second priority is given to those children and families who are recommended by the pastor of a Christian church, and where the family is a member or faithful adherent of that church.

A third priority on the waiting list is children of families who are recommended to the School by a current school family or by a family whose children have now graduated from the School.
