The Prep enrolment process commences in Term 2. To be enrolled in Prep, your child must be aged 5 by June 30 in the year they commence. It is compulsory for all Queensland children to complete Prep prior to commencing Year 1.
Enrolment forms
2024 enrolment forms can be collected at the office or downloaded from the school website from 4th May. Please complete these forms and return to the office as soon as possible. It is important to complete all paperwork, particularly the Prep Interview Form, which gives the school and your child's Prep teacher, detailed information about your child.
At the end of Kindy, you will be given a Transition Statement, please forward this to our school at your earliest convenience. This information will assist your child's teacher in planning and preparation before they begin the school year.
