ENROLMENTS

Children can be enrolled at school as per our Cohort Entry Procedure**.  We encourage children to have a pre-enrolment visit(s) before enrolment day. Please make a phone call to the Principal before you wish to enrol your child so that enrolment information and a visit to the junior syndicate can be arranged.

**Cohort entry is when New Entrants (Y1) start school in groups through the year, at either the start of each school term or the mid point of that term, rather than on their fifth birthday.

From 1 January 2020, changes made to the Act (through the Education Amendment Act 2019) took effect so that:  children start school in cohorts but only after they have turned 5.  There will be 2 entry points per term, one on the first day of term, and one at a mid-point during a term.  You can always choose to delay the child’s start until the beginning of a later term or until age six if you are concerned about their readiness for school.
