New enrolment opportunities from ELC to Year 6

Earlier in Term 4, Andrew Linke, our Executive Principal,  announced some exciting new enrolment opportunities starting from 2026.

Timeline of new enrolment opportunities:

From 2026 onwards, additional places will be available for 3-year-olds to join our Early Learning Centre at Brooklyn Park. This expansion will support the growing number of Foundation places starting in 2027.

From 2027 onwards, both Brooklyn Park and South Plympton campuses will commence with three Foundation classes, each with around 19 students (up from two classes). This represents 14 new Foundation places available at each campus, every year.

In 2028, at the South Plympton Campus Junior School only, 14 additional places will be offered for new students only (not available for campus transfers) in each year level from Year 2 to Year 6.

South Plympton Junior School will complete its growth through to Year 6 for the start of 2028.

Brooklyn Park Junior School will grow progressively each successive year, as further building developments will be undertaken to facilitate this transition.
