Enrolment process
If your child turns 5:
- before 1 May, they can start primary school at the start of the year.
- on or after 1 May, they can start the next year.
Your child must be at school by their 6th birthday.
If our school is not your local school, you can still apply to enrol, but enrolment will only be offered if we have places available.
Visit the school enrolment section on the department’s website for more information.
Mid-year intake from 2024
If your child turns 5 years between 1 May and 31 October, they can start school in either:
- term 3 of the same year
- or term 1 the following year.
Students enrolled through a mid-year intake will complete 6 terms of reception.
Apply to enrol
Step 1: submit a registration of interest form at least 6 months prior to your child’s start date, preferably earlier. Either email the completed form to dl.0265.admin@schools.sa.edu.au or you can request an appointment or a school tour with our Principal, Sharon Day, by phoning the front office.
Step 2: once your enrolment is confirmed, submit your enrolment form and verification documents. You’ll need to provide:
- a copy of the child’s original birth certificate or passport
- residency visa, if you’re a non-Australian resident
- proof of address (for example utility bill or lease agreement)
- completed enrolment form.
Transition
Step 3: There will be a transition process for your child which will help to familiarise them with the routines of school. This process is for all students beginning in the same term (either term 2 for a midyear start or term 4 for a beginning of year start). You will receive a letter advising you of this schedule.
