Enrolment

Enrolment Procedures

If you are interested in enrolling your child at Salisbury Park Primary School, please contact our school and speak with our Front Office Manager. Our enrolment process involves the following four stages.

Stage One: Registration of Interest

Complete a Registration of Interest to Enrol form. Once received, this will be forwarded to Leadership for consideration and follow-up.

Stage Two: Pre-enrolment Meeting

A member of Leadership may contact you to arrange a pre-enrolment meeting. This provides an opportunity for you and your child to visit the school, take a tour and ask any questions you may have.

The meeting also allows us to learn more about your child. We encourage families to share any information about their child’s learning, wellbeing, behaviour or support needs that may help us understand them and how they learn best. Having an open conversation at this stage helps us plan appropriate supports and gives your child the best possible start as they settle into our school community.

Stage Three: Enrolment

Following the pre-enrolment meeting and once any questions or considerations have been discussed, the school will provide parents/carers with a Student Enrolment Form to complete.

This process ensures that both families and the school have had the opportunity to share relevant information, discuss any individual needs and consider how we can best support your child’s transition to Salisbury Park Primary School.

Stage Four: Preparing to Start

Once the completed Student Enrolment Form has been returned to the school, families can begin organising uniforms and other items needed for their child’s first day.

Your child will generally commence in their designated class two school days after the completed enrolment form has been received. This allows us time to prepare for their arrival, including allocating classroom and storage spaces, setting up student logins and organising learning materials. It also provides an opportunity for Leadership and the classroom teacher to share relevant information and ensure appropriate supports are in place.

Taking this time to prepare helps us provide your child with a welcoming, organised and positive start at Salisbury Park Primary School.
