Enrolling your child
We can help you with your enrolment inquiries anytime throughout the year.
Starting school
Your child can start Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year if they turn five on or before 31 July in that year. By law, all children must be enrolled in school by their sixth birthday.
Because students start new work in their new class at the beginning of the school year, it is an advantage for your child both socially and educationally, to start school as soon as possible in the new year.
Procedures
Following the NSW Department of Education's Enrolment Policy, all students living within our catchment area may apply to enrol.
When applying to enrol parents will need to provide the following supporting documents:
- Evidence of residence within the local area
- Birth certificate
- Vaccination documents
- For your appointment, if your child has not been previously enrolled in a NSW public school, you will need to bring these documents with you:
- your child's birth certificate or identity documents
- proof of student's address - originals of different documents such as your council rates notice or residential lease and electricity bill
- Immunisation history statement based on the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR)
- family law or other relevant court orders (if applicable).
- If your child is not a permanent resident you will also need to provide:
- passport or travel documents
- current visa and previous visas (if applicable).
- For children already enrolled in a NSW public school we only require:
- proof of student's address - originals of different documents such as your council rates notice or residential lease and electricity bill
- family law or other relevant court orders (if applicable).
- It's important that you tell the principal if your child has any special circumstances, allergies, health or medical conditions, before your child starts school.
After your appointment with us, you may be asked to complete an application to enrol in a NSW public school form [English PDF 1.16MB] and return it to us. We will notify you of the result of your application. Please note that this form must be completed in English. Help is available for parents who do not read English. There are also translations of the enrolment application which may help you fill out the form in English.
Parents who live outside of our catchment area seeking a 'non-local' placement, can enrol where the school will not incur additional staffing and resources costs.
Parents who do not live in the local catchment area of the school, may submit an out of zone enrolment form for review by the school principal.
For further information regarding enrolment procedures contact the school office to inquire about enrolling and obtain an information package.
