Enrolment process

 

If our school is not your local school, you can still apply to enrol.

Visit the school enrolment section on the department’s website for more information.

Student intake

If your child turns 5:  

  • before 1 May, they can start primary school at the start of the year.

As of the beginning of 2024, there is now also a mid-year intake into school.

If your child turns 5 years between 1 May and 31 October, they can start school in either:

  • term 3 of the same year
  • or term 1 the following year.

Students enrolled through a mid-year intake will complete 6 terms of reception.

Apply to enrol

When applying to enrol you will need to provide the following verification documents: 

  • a copy of the child’s original birth certificate or passport 
  • an immunisation certificate 
  • residency visa, if you’re a non-Australian resident 
  • proof of address (for example utility bill or lease agreement).  

Offers of enrolment

Once you have the necessary enrolment information you can provide this to our front office staff. We also make a time to help you to fill out and check your enrolment form details if you require any assistance.  

You’ll need to provide:  

  • a completed enrolment form 
  • a copy of the child’s original birth certificate or passport 
  • an immunisation certificate 
  • residency visa, if you’re a non-Australian resident

Transition visits

Before starting school, you’ll receive a letter to let you know when you can attend transition visits. This is for all students, regardless of whether they are starting in Term 1 or Term 3.
