Enrolment

Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.

Local enrolment area

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.

How to enrol

If you live in our intake area and would like to apply to enrol at our school, start by submitting an online enrolment application. Online enrolment is currently only available for Australian or New Zealand citizens and permanent residents.

If you are not able to apply online or you prefer not to, download the paper application to enrol (PDF 768.4KB) form. Please complete the form in English. A translated application to enrol may help you do this.

Online enrolment can also be used for out-of-area enrolment. Please note that out-of-area enrolment procedures are subject to the department’s enrolment policy.

Enrolment applications are finalised at the school.

Distance education

Distance education is an equity program for students who are geographically isolated or whose individual circumstances prevent them from regularly attending school. Students must meet one of the conditions in the Distance Education Enrolment Procedures to be eligible to access this program as a full-time student.

You may visit our school office to collect enrolment forms. The office staff can also give you information about starting school. Office hours are 8:30am-3:30pm. The office staff will need to see your child's birth certificate and their passport if they are not Australian citizens. We also need to see your child's immunisation record. In Term 4 we hold an orientation for our Kindergarten students so it is best to complete enrolment forms before the end of Term 3.

Preschool enrolments

Department of Education preschools enrol students in the year before they attend school. Students who are commencing school in the following year and will turn 4 before the 31 July (during year of attendance) are eligible for enrolment.

Places at Pendle Hill Preschool are available for 20 students attending 5 days each fortnight during the school term. Classes operate 9.00 am- 3.00pm during school term. Fees are set by the Department of Education and range from $10.00- $20.00 a day.

Each year preschool applications for the following year are taken from mid May to early September. The school office will confirm when applications are open. Applicants should sumit their form by 1 September to be considered for a place as there will be no or limited places available after this date. Application can be made at the school office between 9.30 am and 2.30 pm daily. Applicants will need proof of address, the child's birth certificate, pension or healthcare card and parents passport/visa if parents are not Australian citizens.

Within each category priority is given to children from families that might otherwise not be able to access preschool. Priority categories include children:

  • of families experiencing financial hardship

Applicants will be notified if they have a place by late October.

Occasionally places do become available during the year. Applicants who have not been offered a place will be considered for any vacancies which become available. Applications from students living in the school drawing area may continue to be accepted after placements have been made.
