Each child in New Zealand has at least one adult who is legally responsible for their care. Those who have this responsibility are most often, but not always, the parents of the child. Other than parents, other legal caregivers could include foster parents, legal guardians, etc.
For the purposes of this application and our internal data systems, we require at least one caregiver who is legally responsible for the student to complete this application form. This caregiver who completes this application will be the caregiver who is most readily able to be contacted during school hours and will be the caregiver with whom the school will primarily communicate via email, landline, and cell phone.
We do request that if there is another caregiver (e.g. spouse), both caregivers' details are added to this application by using the +add another caregiver button.
