General Information
Attendance
Contact the school office or preschool team for information about our preschool’s enrolment patterns across the week.
Enrolment
Enrolments at our preschool are open for 2025 and 2026 intake.
Eligibility
Children can enrol from the beginning of the school year if they turn 4 years old on or before 31 July that year.
Priority
Priority is given to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander children, children living in low socio-economic circumstances and children who are unable to access other early childhood settings due to financial hardship.
We accept children from any area, but families within the school’s catchment area are given priority.
Visit our enrolment guidelines for more information on priority groups and immunisations.
Application to enrol
First complete the expression of interest to enrol in a NSW public preschool (PDF 316.2 KB) and submit to the school office.
Families offered a preschool place for their child will be asked to complete the application to enrol in a NSW public preschool (PDF 713KB).
Translated versions of the preschool enrolment application are also available.
Transition to Kindergarten
Enrolment in a preschool class does not guarantee a spot in Kindergarten at our school.
Families can use School Finder to find their local public school. With a wide range of programs and resources, public schools support children as they transition to school and beyond, fostering a nurturing environment where students grow as lifelong learners.
Preschool hours
The preschool operates the same days and hours as our primary school:
- Monday to Friday 9:00am to 3:00pm.
- The preschool is closed for school holidays and public holidays.
Fees
Public preschools in NSW are free to attend. Fees are not charged for preschool enrolment, attendance, waiting list applications or specialist programs.
