๐ Starting School in 2026?
Do you have a child turning 5 this year? If you live in zone for Peninsula Primary School and havenโt enrolled yet, now is a great time to do so. Head to our website to check your address and complete the enrolment form.
Enrolling early helps us plan ahead and ensures a smooth start for your child.
Zone and Enrolments
In New Zealand, most children start school shortly after they turn five. All children must be enrolled at school by their sixth birthday. Enrolling early helps us in planning for the number of children that will be attending, so itโs important to do this as soon as possible โ ideally three month...

Thank you ๐ซถ๐ผ
The Table Community Church extended a big thank you to Mr. Illingsworth for helping put on the 2nd Back to School Fair in support of Peninsula Primary School!
This fundraiser provided stationery and lunches for whanau experiencing financial hardship; it also offers a way to celebrate our sense of community and belonging at PPS.
Thanks to our Supporters Club the team were able to grow our event by adding two bouncy castles to the line-up of activities, resulting in nearly double the funds raised from last year!
