Starting Kindergarten
Starting school is a big milestone for children and their families.
Children can start Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year if they turn 5 on or before 31 July that year. By law, all children must be in compulsory schooling by their 6th birthday. When your child starts school is an individual decision. You may wish to discuss this with your child's preschool teacher, carer, doctor or your local primary school. Our teachers are trained to work with your child regardless of their age or level of development.
All children start school with a range of experiences, skills and abilities. In the first week of school Kindergarten students will undertake the Best Start assessment. The assessment allows teachers to spend one-on-one time with each child, learning about their literacy and numeracy abilities. This helps teachers plan effective teaching and learning programs. The assessment does not require students to prepare or study.
Transition to school sessions are held in October each year. The school will provide more information about transition to school sessions when your child is enrolled.
