Enrolment

Enrolment Procedures

If you are interested in enrolling your child at Salisbury Park, please visit our school, speak to the front office manager and do the following:

Stage One

Pick up an enrolment pack which outlines the curriculum, various policies and procedures and a Registration of Interest to Enrol form for you to fill out. This is then passed on to the Principal.

Stage Two

The Principal will then contact you to set up a Pre-enrolment meeting so that you can take a tour of the school and raise any questions or queries. This time is also available for the Principal to raise any questions or concerns he may have before enrolling your child. Remember, honesty is the best policy here for all parties concerned. It is better for you and your child to be honest about any learning or behaviour needs at this meeting as it will help you and your child to settle in with the best level of support possible.

Stage Three

Once all queries and concerns have been discussed and both parties are happy then parents will be given a Student Enrolment form from the Principal. Student Enrolment Forms can only be given by the Principal once stage one and stage two have been satisfied.

Stage Four

Parents complete and leave the form with the school, organise school uniforms etc. and then the child will begin in their designated class two days after enrolment form has been received. This allows the Principal to speak with the classroom teacher about organising desk space, locker, student log ins, books etc. so that their transition to school is a smooth one.

Planning, staffing, accommodation and general school organisation is greatly assisted if children are enrolled as soon as they turn 4. The Salisbury Park Kindergarten (across the road) does not automatically enrol your child at this school, but we work closely with the Centre to provide a Transition program, as well as cross age tutoring, and sharing of our resources.

Enrolment Process

If your child turns 5:

• Before 1 May, they can start primary school at the start of the year.

• After 1 May, they can start the next year.

Your child must be at school by their 6th birthday.

Visit the school enrolment section on the department’s website for more information.

Mid-year intake

If your child turns 5 years between 1 May and 31 October, they can start school in either:

• term 3 of the same year

• or term 1 the following year.

Students enrolled through a mid-year intake will complete 6 terms of reception.
