Starting School

When your child is eligible to begin school will depend on their date of birth. From 2024, children who turn 5 years old:

  • before 1 May can start school in term 1
  • between 1 May and 31 October can start school in term 3 (mid-year intake)
  • after 31 October start the following year.

 

Enrolment

Temporary capacity management due to building works

Due to the building works, we have limited capacity for accepting enrolments outside of the local area, and placements will be prioritised for those with a residential address closest to the school. Head to the below website and type in your home address into the search bar to check the proximity of your home to the school. If you are outside the local area, enrolment may still be possible dependant on numbers, and confirmations of enrolment will be sent out approximately 6 months prior to your child commencing school.
