Enrolments & Tours

We invite prospective families to view our virtual tour, available on our home page.

The Committee of Management will also open the kindergarten each term, for families to view.

The Term 4, 2026 tour has been scheduled as follows:

Date: Monday, 23 November 2026

Time: 4.30-5.30pm

Please register your interest to attend here.

This will be our final tour for 2026. Our Term 1, 2027 tour will be scheduled and this webpage updated after the term 4 tour has taken place.

Please note that we are unable to offer private/individual tours.

Enrolment Procedure

The Committee of Management (COM) has recently undertaken a comprehensive review of our enrolment policy. Our updated Enrolment Handbook can be accessed below:

What is changing for 2028?

Historically, applications were accepted from the age of two. Following our recent review, we are changing how we accept applications starting from the 2028 enrolment year.

A separate application will be required for each registration year, rather than a single application covering both the 3 and 4-year-old programs.

Applications will also open on a set date each year, in the year immediately preceding enrolment.

This change aligns our process with other local early childhood services. It also ensures we hold the most current, up-to-date information for all children and families, so we can correctly apply Priority of Access (PoA) criteria.

Families who have already accepted an offer for 3-year-old kindergarten in 2027, or those who were added to the 2028 waitlist prior to this change, will receive a separate communication outlining what action is required. This communication will be issued at the start of Term 4, 2026.

2027 Enrolment Update

Waitlists are now in place for both our 3 and 4-year-old programs. Applications remain open, however as all places have been allocated, they will be for a waitlist position only.

2027 Enrolment Timeline (refer page 6 of Enrolment Handbook for 2028 timeline)

1 June 2026 – First Round Closing Date: Final date for applications to be considered for a first-round 2027 enrolment offer (exceptions apply). Applications received after this date will be considered in subsequent rounds as places become available.

3 June 2026 – 2027 Enrolment Handbook & Program Details: The 2027 Enrolment Handbook will be released. All waitlisted families will receive an email outlining the 2027 programs set by the Committee of Management to confirm enrolment intentions and session preferences.

13 July 2026 – First Round Offers: First-round offers will be issued via email. Families who do not receive an offer at this stage will be notified of their waitlist status.

Late July / Early August – Subsequent Offer Rounds: Second-round offers will be issued to fill any remaining vacancies.

Important Information on Placement
As our service is typically oversubscribed, we unfortunately cannot offer a place to every applicant. Offers are made in strict accordance with the Department of Education’s Priority of Access (PoA) criteria. Families are encouraged to contact us to discuss their specific Priority of Access eligibility.

To ensure your child secures a funded kindergarten place for 2027, we strongly recommend applying at multiple services. We recommend you use the Find a Kinder tool to locate and apply at other nearby services to maximise your child’s chances of placement.
