BUS ROUTE ZONE
Woodbury School run our School Bus route, resourced from the Ministry. Students within our Transport Entitlement Zone (TEZ) are entitled to this bus.
In addition, we privately fund a Ritchies bus to collect children from the Raukapuka area of the Geraldine township. There is a cost per student for this bus.
Any enquiries please contact the school office.

OUT OF ZONE FAMILIES
In 2015, the Secretary of Education formally notified Woodbury School that it was required to establish an enrolment scheme to avoid future overcrowding.
This requirement was due to the strong and rapid growth in the Woodbury School roll in the last few years and the fact that the Ministry would not fund the development of any additional classrooms beyond that already approved.
After a consultation process, the Ministry of Education implemented the enrolment scheme, which came into effect in June 2016. Each year the Board review our roll to determine whether we have spaces to ballot for out of zone students the following year.
You can check your school enrolment zone here.
Please email us if you are an out of zone family and are interested in sending your child to Woodbury School.
