Enrolment

At Papatoetoe Intermediate School we welcome applications from both local and international in-zone students.  We also take a limited number of out-of-zone students.  Our school does have an enrolment scheme in place which defines our school zone.  Our primary responsibility is to those children and families who live within our school zone.

Enrolment application packs are available to download from our website and are also sent to year 6 students attending contributing primary schools around mid-year for the following year.

Online enrolments are now available, see the links at the bottom of this section for enrolment options.

Please contact the school office on 09 278 9763, or email enrolments@papint.school.nz if you have any queries regarding enrolment at Papatoetoe Intermediate School.
