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 your child starts preschool you can come to pre-entry orientation visits. These will be in the term before your child begins, and will be a chance for your child to meet staff and other children. We will contact you at the beginning of this term about orientation sessions. There will be a chance for families to participate in an information session.
Fees
We ask you to contribute towards the cost of your child attending preschool.
The parent contribution is $180 per term. This will cover the cost of resources and consumable items.
We offer other programs that may have an additional cost.
Concessions
No concessions are offered, but we work closely with families to make sure scheduled payment options are available.
When to pay
We will invoice you each term by email.
Due dates for payments will be indicated on the invoice.
Please contact us if you are having difficulty paying.
