Enrolment process

Most children start school in the year they turn 5 years of age. Your child must be at school by their 6th birthday.

Government primary schools have 2 major enrolment intakes, one at the beginning of the year (intake 1) and one for children to start school in term 3 (intake 2).

If your child turns 5 years old:

• before 1 May, they can start reception in term 1 of that year
• between 1 May and 31 October, they can start reception in term 3 (mid-year)
• after 31 October, they can start reception in the following year.

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

To obtain the enrolment form or for more specific enrolment inquiries, contact us.

If our school is not your local school, you can still apply, but enrolment will only be offered if we have places available.
