Prep starting age
In order for your child to be eligible to commence Prep they must be turning six years old by the 30th of June in the Year they enrol in Year One.
This means that if your child was born between the 1st of July 2020 and the 30th of June 2021 they will be eligible to commence Prep in 2026 and Year One in 2027.
The laws in Queensland have changed and from 2017 it is compulsory for all children to undertake a full-time Prep Year, before they can begin Year 1. Find out more at the Education website.
Who has access to Prep?
All children of appropriate age are able to attend Prep.
There is no waiting list to attend Prep as it is available to all children attending State primary schools.
The Prep year is a full-time, compulsory program that has been specially designed to replace Preschool. Preschool has not been available in Queensland primary schools since 2006.
Enrolling in Prep
We aim for 10 students in a Prep class and automatically accept students in the catchment area. Students from outside the catchment area are welcome and enrolment is managed on a case-by-case basis in these instances.
Applications will be recorded in order of receipt and will remain current only for the year of submission.
Upon completion of enrolment documents, you will be added to the Prep Transition Day list and invited to school events.
