Sessional Preschool Sessions

There is one single intake of students each year. This takes place at the commencement of Term 1 (January). To be eligible for Sessional Preschool, children are required to be 4 years of age before May 1st of that year. Students complete four terms of preschool education and commence school in January of the following year.

Children who are under the Guardianship of the Minister or are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent may commence preschool from 3 years of age.

If children have additional needs, approval may be given for early entry.

Children may attend for two full days per week and one extra half day per fortnight. Group 1 attends for a full day on Mondays and Wednesdays and a half day on alternate Friday mornings while Group 2 attends for a full day on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a half day on the other alternate Friday mornings.

Prospective enrolments are taken at the preschool for children from the age of 2.5 years. You will find the enrolment form under the Enrolment Form tab.
