Our School Captains, Community Leaders, and all Senior students will be installed as leaders at St Paul Lutheran School during our Week 5 Chapel on Wednesday, 2 March. This will be live-streamed and recorded for our school community. Parents of these student leaders will be invited to attend this installation, with socially-distanced seating on the balcony and in the narthex (foyer). Photo opportunities will then be held outside.

2024 Enrolments

During this term, I will be conducting enrolment interviews for new families who have applied to enrol for Reception in 2024. We provide priority entry to siblings if we have their information on file. If you are a current family of St Paul and believe you may not have completed an enrolment form for your younger child, please ask at the office for a form as soon as possible. If you would like to check that you have a form in, please ask Monique Tabuena to check for you: mtabuena@stpaulba.sa.edu.au.

Vacancies for Reception fill quickly each year, however there are some places for 2023, as well as places in some other year levels. If you have friends or extended family who are seeking a suitable place for their child’s education, we’d love you to direct them to us for a covid-safe tour.
