The NSW Department of Education advises that:
All children must be in compulsory schooling by their 6th birthday.
Children can start kindergarten at the beginning of the school year if they turn 5 on or before 31 July that year.
Check your address on School Finder to see if it is within our local intake area. Most schools have designated local enrolment areas. Note: local enrolment areas are subject to change.
Apply online: If you are an Australian or New Zealand citizen or permanent resident you are eligible to complete the online enrolment application. You will need proof of address, birth certificate and immunisation records to complete your enrolment.
For more information, visit primary school enrolment.
The Department of Education has implemented an enrolment cap on all schools. Under exceptional circumstances, we may be able to consider out of area applications. Visit out-of-area enrolment to apply. Applications will be assessed on a case-to-case basis, as per the Department's enrolment policy.
The Temporary Residents Program has information about eligibility and the forms to complete an application.
