ENROLMENT
Enrolment forms must be submitted prior to your child starting preschool. Children must be at least 3 years of age to be enrolled. A copy of the child’s birth certificate needs to be sighted.
An immunisation certificate or immunisation record (in the blue book) needs to be sighted for your child. As of 1994 parents/guardians of children who have not been immunised will be notified of any communicable diseases affecting children at this preschool and you will be asked to keep your child at home (for their own protection) until further notice. Please contact the Community Health Centre for further information.
