Enrolment Form
The Department enrolment form must be completed by parents/carers. The following documentation needs to be attached to the online enrolment form, if you have any problems please contact the school office on 02 9477 3627.

- Proof of Australian Citizenship, student Birth Certificate/Passport, or visa documents
- Proof of residential address -100 Point Residential Check
- Australian Immunisation History Statement: A child without an Immunisation History Statement will not be prevented from enrolling. Under the NSW Public Health Act, however, children without proof of immunisation may be asked by Public Health Officials to stay at home during an outbreak of vaccine preventable disease.
- Copies of any family law or other relevant court orders
- Copies of medical/healthcare or emergency action plans
- If your child has health, learning challenges or other support needs you will need to provide the relevant documentation.
KINDERGARTEN ORIENTATION SESSIONS - 2026
The enrolment process must be completed before children can attend Kindergarten 2027 orientation sessions. You'll receive the event booking forms closer to the date. In the meantime, feel free to mark it in your calendar.
We would like your child to visit the school for all 3 sessions:
- Monday 2 November: 9:15am - 10:45am
- Tuesday 10 November: 9:15am - 10:45am
- *Wednesday 18 November: 9:15am - 10:15am (parents to stay and attend the parent information session).
For some children, this will be their first experience of big school, while those with older siblings may already have some familiarity with the school environment. For all children, however, this visit will be an important first step in seeing themselves as a “school child”. We want this to be a happy and positive experience that helps them feel comfortable, confident and excited about starting at their new school.
During their orientation visits your child will be encouraged to participate in some simple activities with other new Kindergarten children. Please prepare your child for these brief periods of separation. To help the children become independent we ask parents not to stay.
Don't forget to visit our Uniforms page for more information.
