Apply now to enrol your child in Foundation (Prep) for 2026

The Department of Education has released a new state-wide timeline for enrolling in Foundation (Prep) for the 2026 school year.
If you have a child starting primary school in 2026,  it’s time to enrol.  Make sure to submit your enrolment application by Friday 25 July 2025.
If you are enrolling the sibling of a student at our school for Foundation in 2026, and both children will be attending our school at the same time, your child is prioritised for a place at our school as per the department’s Placement Policy.
It is important to follow the state-wide timeline to enrol your child in Foundation. Enrolling your child in line with the timelines allows us to plan our classrooms, staffing and transition activities and ensures your child has the best start to school.
