Bell Block is growing fast and to make sure Puketapu School continues to be able to provide for tamariki in our community, we need to introduce an enrolment scheme, a "school zone".
Working with the Ministry of Education, the Board of Trustees has agreed a draft enrolment scheme which we are now sharing with our community, neighbouring schools, iwi, council and other related parties to make sure we make an informed decision.
Our draft Enrolment Scheme Description (updated 17 October)
The next stage of the process is consultation, so we want to hear what you think.
Please email questions, comments or suggestions to office@puketapu.school.nz
Our formal consultation meeting was held on Wednesday 11 September 2019
