Description

Year Level

Year level the student was enrolled in when they started at your organisation.

Entry Date

Date the student entered your organisation.

For NZ MOE roll returns, the Entry Date is used for the First Attendance date. This field is used in conjunction with the Leaving Date on the School tab to determine number of students eligible to be counted on the roll return date. See Current Student Maintenance - School tab in the Current students manual.

Initial Schooling Date

Date the student first attended any school.

For NZ MOE roll returns, the Initial Schooling Date is used for the First schooling date. This field is used to establish most students' funding year level. See Funding year levels in the Roll returns manual.

If the first date at school is unknown, calculate the Initial Schooling Date as Date of Birth plus 6 years. This might occur when a student is a refugee or home schooled. For the student's Date of Birth, see Current Student Maintenance - Personal tab in the Current students manual.

Note: You can override the First schooling date provided to the NZ MOE roll returns using the Override Entry Date field on the NZMOE tab. See Current Student Maintenance - NZMOE tab (Roll returns) in the Current students manual.
