Our students learn in a variety of outdoor settings and often get wet and muddy, therefore, for the convenience of our families, students have the option of wearing mufti OR  uniform when they attend  Waikino School.   However, for school excursions and formal events, school uniform may be required, so it is recommended that students have at least one uniform top.  These are available for purchase from the school office.

Polar Fleece with school emblem                                        $43 each

Older style polo shirts  with school emblem     (while stocks last)         $26 each

When formal uniform is required, student can wear any black pants, shorts, skorts, skirts or leggings of their choice, to accompany their uniform tops.

Hats are compulsory during Term 1 and Term 4 each year.  Please ensure your child brings their hat with them each day, or has a designated named hat that can remain at school.

For a 5 year old starting Waikino School, visits are important in ensuring the smooth transition from home or pre-school to school.

We recommend having three or four school visits in the weeks before your tamariki starts in our new entrant class.

Please Note: We do not have a set day or time for pre-school visits and will do our best to accomodate whānau where we can.

Ideally, the transition visits will take place during the morning, we're we encourage whānau to remain with your tamariki during this time.
