In Western Australia, children who were born between January and June start Kindergarten the year in which they turn four years old, while children born between July and December will start the following year.
Our Kindergarten positions are advertised two years ahead and families are encouraged to apply when their child is two years of age, or younger.
Children can begin Pre-Kindy when they turn three years old. Offers for Pre-Kindy are made after a child is accepted for Kindergarten.
Siblings of students already enrolled in the school are required to submit an application for enrolment.
Use the calculator (available below this ‘Enrolment Information’ section) to check your child’s Kindy start date.
At times, positions become available in other year groups – please get in touch and we will provide you with more information. We welcome new families to our school and do our best to accommodate all siblings in a family.
Once we have received your enrolment application, we will get in touch to arrange a suitable date for an interview with the School Principal.
Where possible, interviews include the parent(s) and the prospective student(s). If your family hasn’t visited the school before, we include a short tour. Due to strong demand, interviews for Kindy enrolment applications are usually conducted two years prior to enrolment. Interviews for places in other years are scheduled on demand.
| Date | Short tour * | Interview |
|---|---|---|
| We will be in touch to arrange a date. | 20 minutes | 30 minutes |
* Only applies if you haven’t visited the school previously
An offer letter will be sent to offer your child a position if one is available.
To secure your place, you must accept the offer in writing and pay the enrolment deposit.
The non-refundable enrolment deposit of $200 can be paid via EFTPOS at the office or over the phone. This is deducted from the first years’ school fees.
Please notify us of any change to your contact details, such as your phone number, email or address. If your circumstances change and you no longer require the position, please let us know so that we can offer the position to a family on our waiting list.
Use the calculator provided below to check your dates. In Western Australia, children who were born between January and June start Kindergarten the year in which they turn four years old, while children born between July and December will start the following year.
Parents are encouraged to apply for enrolment two years before their children are due to start Kindergarten. Applying early means a better chance of securing a place and also makes you eligible to apply for our Pre-Kindy programme.
