Foundation Enrolment & 

Year 6-7 Transition 2024

Foundation Enrolments applications close tomorrow 28th July

We are now accepting enrolments for all year levels for 2024. During term 3 we begin to focus on the task of planning for next year. Grade structures, workforce planning and budgets are features of this planning. We are asked by the Department of Education at this time to project our enrolments for the year ahead. We endeavour to be as accurate as  possible in order to ensure that our budgets and staffing requirements are reasonably correct. If you have a student for 2024 to enrol, or know of students intending to enrol, please assist us by ensuring enrolment forms are provided to the office sooner rather than later.

For Foundation students in 2024, the final date to lodge enrolment forms is 28th July (this Friday). All newly enrolled students for 2024 will have a confirmation letter mailed to them by 11th August. This is a statewide process to support schools in their planning and staffing practices, as well as supporting a smooth transition for pre-schoolers to primary school. Dates for our ‘Fly into Foundation’ Transition schedule are included in the ‘Calendar’ page in this newsletter.

You can find information and resources about the new timeline, including factsheets, at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep). You can also download the ‘Foundation (Prep) Enrolment Information Pack for Parents/Carers for the 2024 school year’ from the Starting School webpage (available from 24 April 2023).
