Cohort Entry 

Randwick Park School has introduced a Cohort Entry into our school this year. Under a cohort entry, students who are turning 5 or have not been to school before, would start school either at the start of the term or midway through the term, whichever is closest to their birth date, or by the preference of their whānau. 

Cohort entry is about helping children to settle better in school. Evidence shows that starting school alongside other children helps them build relationships and supports a smoother entry into school life. It can also mean less disruption for new entrant classrooms and teachers who can better prepare groups of children arriving on a specific date rather than individuals starting each week. 

There are two entry points per term:

  • one on the first day of term week 1
  • one at a mid-point during a term in week 6

We highly recommend children start school in these groups as we believe gives them a positive start to school life. Whānau who still wish for their child to start the Monday after they turn five will need to meet to discuss this with one of our leadership team.
