The school takes enrolments all year. Kindergarten enrolment for any year requires that your child must turn 5 on or prior to 31st July of that year.
When enrolling you need to bring a birth certificate or passport for your child, immunisation records and proof of address (rates notice, lease agreement, water or land rates etc).
There is a Kindergarten Open Day in Term 3 of each school year prior to your child starting Kindergarten. The school contacts local preschools early in that year advising them of enrolment procedures.
For more information on enrolling please contact the school.
Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.

The School’s feeder area is bound by Hurstville Road to the north, Georges River to the east and south and the railway line to the west and includes the Southern, Llewelyn, Yarran, Boorara street peninsular.
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.
Immunisation
At 4 years or prior to school entry, children are due for injections of combined Measles, Whooping Cough, Diphtheria Tetanus (CDT) vaccine and booster dose of Sabin Oral vaccine.
An immunisation certificate stating whether immunisation has taken place must be presented to the school for all Kindergarten children enrolling. Children who are not immunised may be excluded from school during major epidemics.
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.
