Enrolment

It is our goal to provide a well-balanced education for all children, where they feel happy and secure in a warm, caring environment. 

MWPS New Entrant Enrolments:

We aim to give our new entrants the best start possible in their school life.

To help prepare your child for school, we encourage visits to the classroom. These visits can be arranged at the time of enrolment in the School Office. Children can start to participate in this one month before their fifth birthday. We provide this opportunity so your child can meet their teacher and the children who will be in their class when they start school. It also helps children to get to know some of our class routines and provides a little insight into the class programme. If you have any questions, please feel free to approach our Principal, Mrs Kogie Naidoo or Deputy Principal, Mrs Shea Bowden and we will be only too happy to assist you. We look forward to a long association with you in the future.

MWPS 2024 New Entrant Cohort Enrolment Dates: 

• We encourage the use of a bottle of water for your child to drink during class time
• Removing the plastic safety seal from under the lid of sippy bottles will ensure your child is able to have their drink
• If your child wears a belt to school, making sure they know how to unbuckle it may save toileting accidents
• Making sure your child knows what food to eat at playtime and what to leave for lunch will stop them from eating everything at once and getting hungry
• When teaching your child to write their name use only little (lower case) letters 
• Naming your child’s clothing will lessen the chance of loss, especially your child’s sunhat
• Does your child know how to tie their shoes? can they put on or take off a jersey by themselves? These are great things to practice together at home.
