ENROLMENT PROCEDURES
We encourage parents to pre-enrol their child/ren as early as possible, preferably by the age of 3, including younger siblings of children already at the school. Parents of children approaching school age are encouraged to bring them to visit the school prior to the child's birthday so that he/she can become familiar with the environment. A phone call to the office is required to arrange a time. The school has an enrolment scheme, details of this are available on the school website under the B.O.T. section. Enrolments close on 15 September each year. Enrolments received after this date go on a waiting list.
