New Entrant Parents Want

Enrollment Interviews

One of the most enjoyable parts of my role last year was meeting the year six students and families as they came to the College for their enrollment interviews.  It is amazing how positive and excited the students (and parents) are about starting their time here at Waihi College.  

I have a series of questions that I work through with the families about what makes them tick.  One of the best questions is to ask the parents what it is that they really want for their child over the next seven years.  

Here are a collection of their responses.  The key thing that really stands out for me is how precious their children are to them and how high their hopes are for quality meaningful education.
