Vogeltown School, Te Kura o Huatoki

Vogeltown School, Te Kura o Huatoki With a steadily increasing role of 340+ year 1 - 6 students, Vogeltown School has a positive and vibrant community spirit.

The teaching staff create dynamic, fun and safe learning spaces where students thrive on quality teaching. ERO (2017) says this about Vogeltown School:

Vogeltown School caters for students in Years 1 to 6. Of the 367 students enrolled, 22% are Māori and 2% of Pacific heritage, mostly Cook Island Māori. Significant increase to the roll has occurred over the previous three years. The junior and senior school are located on two separate sites. The school’s vision is for students to: make the best choices they can, become confident learners with the courage to seek a better world and aspire to heights beyond the horizon. Manaaki Tangata, Manaaki Whenua and Haere Whakamua - caring for people, caring for the land and going forward - underpin a culturally responsive curriculum. Students benefit from a wide range of curriculum experiences, including academic, sporting, cultural and educational experiences outside the classroom. Promoting student agency and encouraging greater choice in what and how children learn is being implemented in the junior school. Students identified with complex learning needs are well catered for. Individual education plans suitably reflect appropriate goals, developed with external agency specialists, parents and school staff. Transition to and from school is well planned to support individual students. For sustained improvement and future learner success, the school can draw on existing strengths in:

*the school’s clear vision and values for learner engagement and success, together with systems and processes to identify and track the progress of students at risk

*a culture of collaboration between leaders, teachers and trustees that promotes and guides ongoing school improvement.

Kia ora e te whānau

Thank you for your patience as we work through our new ticketing system for the production.

We are pleased to advise that as most whānau complied with our guidance around ticket purchases, we are able to release the rest of the tickets for all 3 shows.

You can order more tickets by going into Kindo and following the same instructions as previously given. No limits apply but we do ask that you remain considerate of others seeing as space is limited.

Tickets will be sent home with students on Tuesday.

Thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to seeing you all this week.

Information regarding the Taranaki Production next week is in the newsletter - but we have also included it below:

To ensure we meet our fire safety obligations, seating is strictly limited to 260 audience members per performance. We understand this is a change from previous years, and may cause some inconvenience, but we appreciate your understanding. If you are able to come to a daytime performance, rather than the evening performance, please do so.

Ticket ordering guidelines:

How to order: Tickets can be ordered by using our Kindo Shop. Please select the Taranaki Production tab, then the performance date and time that suits you best. Add the number of tickets needed to your cart under the name of your child that is in the production. If you have multiple children in the production, please just choose one child.

Limit: Whānau can order up to 4 tickets in total. You can order, for example, 2 tickets for the matinee and 2 tickets for the evening show. Please do not over order as you will only be given a maximum of 4 tickets.

Seating: On the night, those with tickets will be able to sit anywhere.

Extra tickets: If any unallocated seats remain closer to the event, we will send out a notification so you can order more tickets.

Cost: Tickets are free of charge. However, we would appreciate a koha/donation which will be collected at the door to help offset production costs.

Ticket delivery: Printed tickets will be sent home with your child prior to the performance dates so please check bags!

Every person attending requires a ticket: This is to ensure we do not go above our capacity.

Kindo Shop - if you do not yet have a Kindo account, please set up an account using the following link: https://shop.kindo.co.nz/app/login

Please note - all Huatoki and Paetoki tamariki will be viewing the production at school on Tuesday, so they will have already seen the show.

Thank you for your support in making this a wonderful event for our students.

Ngā mihi,

The VS team

Out-of-Zone enrolments information for Term 4 2026

Since the last ballot for out-of-zone places, the Vogeltown School Board has received enquiries from parents of out-of-zone students seeking to enrol their children at the school this year.

As the Board operates an enrolment scheme it is usually unable to enrol out of zone students between ballot periods however, as some places have become available, and there is no waiting list, the board has determined that two places are likely to be available to out-of-zone students at Year 0 for enrolment in Term 4 2026.

The Board is prepared to receive applications for these places, in addition to those it already holds, so long as they reach the school by Wednesday 9th September.

If a ballot is required, it will be held on Thursday 10th September. Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three school days of the ballot being held.
