The First Same Day Policy and Early Years transition:
In January, 2014 “The Same First Day” Policy came into effect across South Australia. Children turning 5 on or before 30th April are able to commence in January of that year. Those who turn 5 on the 1st May or later will commence in January the following year. We have an Early Years Transition Coordinator (Irene Brownlie) who liaises with parents and pre-school settings throughout the year and coordinates a transition program in fourth term for students commencing Reception the following year. This ensures our new students enjoy a more settled and successful start to the school life.
General Enrolment:
Children transferring from another school during term time will begin within two days of enrolment depending on the outcome of an enrolment interview. Key considerations prior to accepting enrolments include:
- Being a local resident to the school
- Visa sub-class
- Appropriate space to accommodate new students
- Confirmation of no outstanding concerns or issues by previous school (SA schools / interstate)
