The office will be closed over the Christmas holidays, closing 16 December and re-opening on the 2nd of February. Emails will be periodically cleared in the New Year. All online enrolments will be acknowledged but please allow for some delay if enrolling over the school holiday period as the reply is not an automatic response.

As CEW is based at Kamo High School the programme follows the school terms with courses running quarterly. The CEW classes generally start as from the 2nd or 3rd week of the school term and are staggered throughout the term.
Brochures are printed each term and these are available from your local library or Kamo High School. If you wish to be on the CEW mailing list please provide details of your postal address.

PUBLIC HOLIDAYS
Classes are not held on Public Holidays. If in doubt as to when your class will run please check with the office.

CEW Office Hours

The following hours are during term time only. The office is normally closed during the school holidays.

MONDAY - THURSDAY: 10am-5pm
FRIDAYS: 10am-4pm

EVENINGS - OPEN until after 6pm the first night that a new class starts

SATURDAYS/SUNDAYS - CLOSED but I am normally onsite between 8.30 and 9am if classes are running that day

DURING SCHOOL HOURS - if the CEW office is unattended please go to the school office.

AFTER HOURS - if the office is unattended I may be elsewhere on the school grounds setting up classes for the night and may be only 5 minutes away if you care to wait

Please note that our bank has indicated that it will not be accepting cheques as from February 2020.

RECEIPTS
Receipts will only be posted if requested.

REFUNDS
If a class is cancelled a full refund will be given. In all other situations refunds are at the sole discretion of the CEW office and an administration fee may be deducted. CEW reserves the right to transfer the fees to another course or hold a credit for a later date.

Enrolments

ENROL EARLY
Late enrolments mean classes can be full or cancelled. Please look out for trial and information evenings for some classes.

ENROLMENT OPTIONS
Please complete the online enrolment form. ALL online bookings will be responded to, so no response means it hasn't been received. Please allow for some delay if enrolling over the school holiday period as the reply is not an automatic response. If you wish to check that your enrolment has been received please phone (09) 435 0889 once the office has re-opened. Alternative methods of enrolling (during term time only): call into the CEW office at Kamo High School; phone 435 0889; or email cew@kamohigh.school.nz.

SCHOOL PUPIL ENROLMENTS
Funding regulations may restrict students under the age of 16 years attending classes. Please check eligibility if enrolling a student in one of the courses.

WAITING LISTS
Waiting lists operate for classes filled to capacity. You will be contacted if a place becomes available.

Disability Access

Every effort is made to accommodate learners with disabilities. It is helpful if you can advise when you enrol if you have any special requirements. Please also advise in advance if you have any access needs so you can be directed to the best parking options and advised of the easiest approach to the classroom.

Safety

All care is taken to ensure the safety of students but due diligence is required by individuals. When working with equipment it is important that students adhere to basic safety procedures and follow any instructions. In the health and fitness classes it is requested that any health issues are disclosed before enrolling, i.e. pregnancy, history of a bad back or neck, any major or recent surgery. For your own safety it is essential that you inform the tutor of any condition that could cause concern. It is also important that students work to their own ability.

Smoke Free and Dog Free Zone

Kamo High School is a smoke free zone. Smoking is not allowed in any buildings or anywhere on the school grounds. Please respect this request and refrain from smoking whilst on the premises. School policy states that no dogs are allowed on the school grounds. This includes dogs in vehicles. Please do not leave your dog unattended in your vehicle. Thank you.

Please advise if you have a new idea for a course or if you would like to tutor a class. Suggestions for new courses are always welcomed.

Finding Your Classroom

On the first day or evening of your class there will be signs outside the school directing you to the classroom. There is also a map of the school on the ranchslider to the CEW office if you need to check where you are going. The CEW office is normally open until after 6pm the first night that your class starts should you need any assistance. Please arrive 5-10 minutes early to allow time to find the classroom.
