When to start school

 

Your child can start Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year if they turn five on or before 31 July in that year. By law, all children must be enrolled in school by their sixth birthday.

If your child attends a preschool or childcare centre the school can work with them to help get to know your child and for you and your child to get to know the school. We would love for you to contact us today to organise a personal tour of our wonderful school.
