Whakaurutanga
Enrolments
It’s important to note that we will soon be operating two kōhanga reo one at 46 Phillip Street, Johnsonville, and one at 58 Tarikākā Street, Ngāio. This expansion will give whānau greater choice and flexibility, and will help ensure our kaupapa continues to flourish across both communities.

Expression of interest
For whānau expressing interest in enrolment, your application will help us understand which location best suits your needs once both kōhanga are operating. We welcome all whānau who are committed to the kaupapa of Te Kōhanga Reo and who wish to see their tamariki grow in te reo, tikanga, and mātauranga Māori.
As you complete the enrolment form, please make sure you select your preferred location. This helps us manage our waitlist accurately and ensures we can plan for the needs of each whānau.
