Domestic Student Enrolment Application

The purpose of this Provisional Application is to assess whether there is a potential match between your family’s needs and Matahui School’s philosophy. If there is a clear value match, and we have the capacity and appropriate resources to meet your child’s needs, you will be invited to complete an Enrolment Application (which provides more detailed information). If Matahui School is not the best match for your child at the moment, we will advise you in writing.

There is a $200 non-refundable administration fee for processing this form. Your information will be stored in accordance with the Privacy Act.

Once completed, please email your application form to office@matahui.school.nz.

Life Skills

Matahui School's philosophy encourages children to experience childhood as a time of life for fun, laughter, and exploration, while building relationships, expressing creativity and being willing to make mistakes. We encourage extending this philosophy into the home, to partner with families and enhance the values-based approach their children will experience at Matahui School.

The five core aspects of Matahui School’s philosophy are listed below. To help us assess the fit between this philosophy and your family's values, please tell us a little about how your family approaches these types of activities.
