Enrolling your child
You can register your interest to enrol your child with us by using the preschool registration of interest form. This form is also available from us.
Try to register your interest by 30 June, but you can do this any time during the year.
Priority will be given to children living in our catchment area. If you don’t live in our catchment area you should indicate at least 2 other preschool options on your form.
If we can give your child a place with us we’ll send you an offer letter in term 3. You can accept the offer by filling in and sending back the acceptance slip by the due date.
Before your child starts
Before they start preschool your child can come to pre-entry transition visits. These will be in term 4 and are a chance for your child to meet our staff and other children.
Fees
We ask you to contribute towards the cost of your child attending preschool.
The parent contribution is $55 each term or $220 for the full year. We apply an early payment discount for families if the full year is paid by week 3 of term 1.
We offer other programs that may have an additional cost.
Concessions
Concessions are available for families with a health care card or Centrelink concession card. The concession parent contribution is $50 each term.
Early entry
Children with special needs may be eligible for early entry. Early entry is dependent on our capacity. The parent contribution for early entry is $15 each term.
When to pay
We will invoice by week 3 each term via reminder note at the gate.
Please contact us in confidence if you have difficulties paying.
