Enrolment

Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.

Our preschool is an integral part of the school.

Applying to enrol in preschool

Children are eligible to enrol in NSW public preschools if they turn four on or before 31 July of that year. Applications for next year are taken from term two of the current school year.

Please make an appointment with us to apply to enrol your child. You will need to bring these documents with you:

  • your child's birth certificate or identity documents
  • proof of child's address - originals of different documents such as your council rates notice or residential lease and electricity bill
  • low income health care card (if applicable)
  • family law or relevant court orders (if applicable).

Local enrolment area

Most schools have designated local enrolment areas. The School Finder shows our local enrolment area. Note: local enrolment areas are subject to change.

How to enrol 

Contact us when you’re ready to enrol your child in our school. You may need to attend an interview with the principal. There you can discuss any medical conditions or other special circumstances before your child starts school. We may also complete a risk assessment on the enrolment.

For more information, visit primary school enrolment.

The application form must be completed in English. However, a translated application to enrol may help you to fill out the form in English.

Non-local enrolments

As outlined in the department’s enrolment policy, our school may accept enrolments from outside our local enrolment area if places are available.

We will assess applications for non-local enrolment on a case-by-case basis.

Temporary visas and international students

Distance education

Distance education is an equity program for students who are geographically isolated or whose individual circumstances prevent them from regularly attending school. Students must meet one of the conditions in the Distance Education Enrolment Procedures to be eligible to access this program as a full-time student.
