2027 Enrolment Intentions Survey

Current Foundation to Year 5 families only

An email was sent out recently (Monday August 10th) regarding enrolment intentions for 2027. Understanding enrolments for next year helps us to resource the learning that will take place. 

Even if you are returning, we kindly ask that you take the time to complete this very brief survey to notify of your intentions (Thank you to those that have already completed the survey).

Parents are reminded of the school's 'term in advance' notification policy. Late withdrawal of enrolment may require the payment of tuition fees for Term 1 2027.

If you would like to discuss your child's enrolment at Good Shepherd, please contact Amber in the front office, or email registrar@gspv.sa.edu.au to arrange a meeting.

2026 Book Week - Symphony of Stories

We are very excited to be celebrating Children’s Book Week this year. Our Book Week Parade will be happening next Monday Week 6, the 24th of August at 8.45-9.15am.

There will be a designated area for parents to come and watch if you are able.

Students are invited to dress up to the Book Week theme or as their favourite book character. If students are dressing up, we ask that they also have a copy of the book that their character appears in, or a copy of the front cover of the book will also be accepted.

Please note, we do not expect you to spend a lot of money on costumes. Get creative, using items that you may already have, or try your local op shop. You can also find some great simple ideas online at sites like Pinterest.

Keep your eye out for other special Book Week events, an author visit, and activities in the weeks to come!
