Enrolment process
If your child turns 5:
- before 1 May, they can start primary school at the start of the year.
- after 1 May, they can start the next year.
Your child must be at school by their 6th birthday.
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.
Mid-year intake from 2024
From 2024, there will be a mid-year intake into school.
From 2024, 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 attend an information session. During the session we can help you to fill out and check your enrolment form details if you require any assistance.
You’ll need to provide:
