Kia ora koutou,
If you know that your child is starting school at CDPS in 2026 /2027 please contact Carolyn in the office to pre-enrol as soon as possible. Your enrolment information helps us to plan for a smooth ECE to School transition and manage our numbers.
If you would like to visit CDPS for a tour, meet our tamariki and have a coffee with Justin Potter (Principal) please don't hesitate to book an appointment. We'd love to meet you.

Ngā mihi

New Zealand Traveller Declaration
Going overseas for the school holidays? Everyone travelling into New Zealand must complete a New Zealand Traveller Declaration, including returning New Zealand passport holders.
Its FREE and you can do it on the online form or on the NZTD app. 
If you’re travelling as a family or group and completing multiple declarations, the NZTD app allows you to copy your travel details into another declaration, making it easier to complete multiple declarations for the same journey. The submitted declarations are then all easy to see within the app. 
The New Zealand Traveller Declaration collects travel, customs, immigration and biosecurity information and aims to improve the safety and security of New Zealand. It replaces the paper card you used to fill out on the plane.   
 To make your arrival easier, do your digital declaration before your flight back to New Zealand.
Head to travellerdeclaration.govt.nz today!
THE WINTER PROJECT
Who are we: The Winter Project is a student-led charity group run by a group of Year 12 from Samuel Marsden Collegiate School in Karori. We collect second-hand winter clothes and deliver them to schools in the greater Wellington region. Specifically targeting families who are in need of warmth for the cold winter months ahead.
What you can do:
Please bring any preloved, clean, warm clothing items in good condition. These can be anything like scarves, beanies, gloves, blankets, jerseys, tops, jackets, raincoats, puffers, warm pants or shoes. There is a box placed in the school office to put your items in. Thank you for your help!
