Department of Education general guidelines

The school follows eligibility criteria set out in the Department's preschool enrolment procedures. If the number of applicants exceeds the places available, the school's placement panel will consider each application and make recommendations for placement according to the Department's eligibility criteria and priority set out below.

Public preschools enrol children for one year only, the year before they start school.
Children can enrol from the beginning of the school year if they turn four years of age before 31 July that year.

Priority is given to:

Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander children
children living in low socio-economic circumstances
children who are unable to access other early childhood settings due to financial hardship.

The principal of the school will then offer enrolment in the following order:

children living within the school's catchment area
children living outside the catchment area but have siblings at the school
other applicants.
