Enrolment Information

The availability of a place in the school is always determined by the number of enrolment applications.

Children beginning school for the first time are enrolled in the Reception class. They commence their schooling in Term 1 of a school year once they have turned five years of age on or before April 30. Children turning 5 on or before October 31 May commence their schooling in Term 3. Children turning five after this date commence school in Term 1 the following year.

Children who are enrolled at other stages of their schooling will commence at a time determined by circumstances, and at a year level appropriate to their chronological age.

We also have a transition program called Joeys and is for 4 year old children. This is a fun engaging program with the aim of preparing children for school life. This program runs for approximately 16 weeks on a Wednesday 9am-11.30am. If a child was starting school in Term 3 they would start JOEYS at the beginning of the year. If a child was starting school at the beginning of a year they would start JOEYS in Term 3. Please call the school for more information.
