Age of Entry
Children are eligible to start preschool at the beginning of the school year if they turn 4 years of age before 30th June that year. Enrolment into our preschool relies on available vacancies – we have a capacity of 44 students. Currently enrolment is prioritised for children who live within our school priority area and we encourage all families to enrol within their local school catchment.
Expression of Interest opens for the upcoming school year, from Term 2 the previous year. An Expression of Interest form can be collected from the front office to complete from Term 2. You will be contacted in mid to late Term 3 by a preschool staff member to begin the next part of the enrolment process.
Age of Entry
Children are eligible to start in preschool at the beginning of the year if they turn 4 years of age before 30th June that year. All enrolments rely on available vacancies. Enrolment at present is subject to the family living within the school priority enrolment area.
Regular attendance and punctuality is promoted in order to prepare your child for primary school. Children with irregular attendance may be taken off the roll if there is a waiting list as it is essential that children attend each day in order to take full advantage of the program.
Contact the school office for an appointment if you wish to enrol a child.
