Enrolment Interviews
To get to know you and your child, each family will have a scheduled interview to go through the completed enrolment form and discuss your child’s transition to school. This is also your opportunity to discuss any medical conditions, custody issues or other special circumstances before your child starts school. We want to know as much information as we can so that we can cater for your child as best as we can from the first day they are with us.
Most enrolment interviews will be conducted between 12th August and 11th September 2024.
Kindergarten Orientation Sessions
One of the most exciting things for us is meeting your child. Your child will have the opportunity to visit our school for three orientation sessions in Term 4, 2024. These sessions allow your child to become familiar with the school and our routines prior to their first day in 2025. Our goal is to ensure the transition from preschool to Kindergarten is as successful as possible. We will provide you with an orientation pack and resources to help with this process and we are here to support you every step of the way.
Children will be split into small groups for our orientation sessions, which will be held on:
Wednesday 23rd October – 9:30am to 11:00am
Wednesday 6th November – 9:30am to 11:00am
Wednesday 20th November – 9:30am to 11:00am
We ask that your child attend all three orientation sessions, if possible.

Wednesday 30th October – 9:30am to 11:00am (First Nations students only)

Kindergarten 2025 Parent Information Session
We look forward to meeting our 2025 parents and to share our amazing school with you all. We will be holding our Parent Information Session on Wednesday 6th November while your child is attending their orientation session. Join us for coffee and cake from 9:30am with the information session commencing at 10:00am. The session will provide you with important information on what you need to know before your child starts Kindergarten. Our goal is to make sure you have all the information that you need to make the best start possible for your child.
