Enrolment process
Reception Enrolment
Most children start school in the year they turn 5 years of age. Your child must be at school by their 6th birthday.
Government primary schools have 2 major enrolment intakes, one at the beginning of the year (intake 1) and one for children to start school in term 3 (intake 2).
If your child turns 5 years old:
- before 1 May, they can start reception in term 1 of that year
- between 1 May and 31 October, they can start reception in term 3 (mid-year)
- after 31 October, they can start reception in the following year.
Students enrolled through a mid-year intake will complete 6 terms of reception.

School Fees
The 2026 Materials and Services Fee is $380.00 for Foundation to year 6. This may vary slightly from year to year. Additional charges may apply for items and excursions/activities that are not considered necessary for learners to complete the curriculum activities, e.g. optional resources, project materials. These funds will allow the school to continually enhance the learning experiences of our learners.
Invoices will be sent home mid-term one. Full payment is required by the last day of term 1 unless an instalment plan is approved. Please contact the Business Manager for more information about payment plans and other support.
The governing council conducts annual online polling to determine the legally recoverable amount of the materials and services fees. Parents and caregivers will be notified about this process and outcomes.
The materials and services fees include:
• Stationary items including books and photocopied resources
• Access to learner information technology and equipment materials for curriculum use
• Access to library resources
