The Ministry of Education (MOE) has announced that Targeted Funding for Disadvantage for March 2026 – February 2027 will be calculated using attendance data you’ve already supplied to the Early Learning Information (ELI) system for the period 1 April – 30 June. To ensure you receive the correct entitlement, MOE requires that your ELI data is up to date by 3 October.

     (birth certificate, passport, etc.).
   • Correct any spelling errors or missing middle names.

2. Enrolment & Booking Details

Go to Children > Bookings
