I managed to check the NZ Birth microfiche record ... and yes, the entries for Ruby and Pearl BENNETT were made under Section 24 of the New Zealand Births and Deaths Amendment Act (refer to earlier posting).
Was not able to find any school record listings for the BENNETT children.

Perhaps Ernest and family moved to Australia circa 1908 
This, from a quick check of Electoral and directory listings :
[Have included info for Frederick Jabez BENNETT as well.]
WISES Directory 1905

BENNETT - Frederick J. - Draper - 217 Queen Street, Auckland
Private residence: Dedwood Terrace, Ponsonby :

BENNETT - Frederick Jabez - com. agent - 5 London Street, Ponsonby, Auckland :
NO listing for Ernest BENNETT in 1910 !

Hi Lu,
Thank you so much for all this very useful information! 1907/1908 do look likely, if the names were struck off before the Nov 1908 election and they were not around in 1910.
Thanks very much for looking up the microfiche as well - very interesting and another little puzzle solved! 
I will try the 1912 birth certificate and see if it yields anything of value. It will take a while to arrive.
I've found an article in Papers Past very recently, that mentions an E.H. Bennett and Co Ltd in Auckland, which was owned by Ernest. Would you mind checking Wises Driectory once more to see if it also disappears at about the same time? That may help confim it. 
Thank you again,
OzJen

Many thanks for your time and effort, Lu. Pity about those editions of Wises not being available. I'm surprised the E.H. Bennett business doesn't show up, considering the 'rave review' the business got in the 1905 paper. It's all quite curious; like just about everything else to do with this branch of the family!
Regards,
OzJen

Hello OzJen,
Shipping & passenger arrivals in Sydney can be found at Mariners & ships in Australian Waters online at
http://mariners.records.nsw.gov.au/
Unfortunately, not all lists have been transcribed yet for that era.
The State Records Office of NSW has the lists on microfilm under Immigration
