Bake sale on Friday:  A team of students will be selling baked goods on Friday for $1 each.  Funds raised will go to Chase’s give a little page.  There is a limited amount of baked goods - so first come first served - morning tea on Friday.  Please don't rely on stock being available for your morning tea/ lunch.  Very limited supplies.

We've had a spate of tummy bugs and respiratory infections doing the rounds.  To avoid spreading this across the school, please keep your child at home for 48 hours after a bout of vomiting or diarrhoea.  

If you are contemplating enrolling your Year 6 child at another school for Year 7 in 2018, could you please complete this form?  Although we would be sad to see your child leave the school, we understand that parents will make this decision for a host of reasons and we are keen to understand them.  We would also like to get an accurate picture, as early as possible, of our student levels for 2018.  This will allow us to advertise free spaces and to staff the school correctly for the next year.  Please complete our survey by clicking on the following link :

Pukekohe High School’s Enrolment Evenings: Monday 7 August and Tuesday 8 August between 4.00pm and 7.00pm, and Thursday 10 August between 4:00pm and 8:00pm
The Board has approved 30 out of zone places for next year’s Year 9. Applications for these 30 places will close on 30 August 2017. If there are less than 30 applications by this date, all applicants will be enrolled. If the number of applications exceeds 30, the successful applicants will be determined by a ballot as is required by Ministry of Education regulations. Those regulations prioritise siblings of current students, next siblings of past students, next children of former students, next children of employees and Board of Trustees and then all other applicants.  If required, that ballot will be held on 6 September 2017.  The enrolment policy, including a description of the zone, can be found under “Enrolment” on the school’s website.
 
In 2019, out of zone enrolments will only be accepted for siblings of current students.
