There is an enrolment application fee of $55 at the time of lodging an application. Depending on intended start date of enrolment, an interview will be arranged with the class teacher, parents and the child. Interviews for places in Kindergarten are held in August/September for enrolments in the following year.
If the child’s enrolment application is successful, the parents/caregivers will be notified in writing and at that point, the parents/caregivers are required to pay the non-refundable enrolment fee of $400 (this fee is per family who have children concurrently enrolled). These fees are used to provide income for capital works at the school.
