New Enrolments


 

OUR ENROLMENT PROCESS

 

Thank you for your interest in enrolling your child at Greenmount Primary School.

 

Parent/carers applying to enrol a child in our School, should firstly complete the Application for Enrolment form. Please complete one form for each child. Please also include your Child's Immunisation Statement available from your MyGov.

 

The  Application for Enrolment form enables parents/carers to express an interest in seeking a placement in the school. The Application for Enrolment form does not guarantee enrolment. It just formally expresses a desire to seek a placement.

You will be notified in writing of the outcome of enrolment decisions within three weeks of the closing date for applications. Once a student has been formally offered a placement, parents/carers will be asked to complete an Enrolment Form to complete the enrolment process.

 

Applications received after the 20 July 24, will be considered on a case by case basis, in accordance with the Enrolment policy and classroom availability.

 

Early in Term 4, parents/carers will be invited to an Early Year’s Kindy conference. The conference will give you information about what to expect when your child attends our school with a focus on supporting your child with their literacy, numeracy and resiliency skills. It will also be an opportunity for you to meet other parents of Kindy students, and the Admin team.

Later in Term 4 we also have an orientation morning where parents and the enrolled child spend some time in Kindy, familiarising them with the Teaching staff and Kindergarten environment.

Managing Enrolments


There is a clear process in place that enables schools to manage enrolments in the event that the levels of enrolments outweigh the level of available accommodation within the school.  For your information, the following selection criteria is applied when prioritising applications for enrolment:

 

  1. A child who lives in the local-intake area of the school, who has a sibling enrolled at the school for that year and who lives closest to the School
  2. A child who lives in the local-intake area of the school, who does not have a sibling enrolled at the school for that year and who lives closest to the School
  3. A child who does not live in the local-intake area of the school, who has a sibling enrolled at the school for that year and who lives closest to the School.
  4. A child who does not live in the local-intake area of the school, who does not have a sibling enrolled at the school for that year and who lives closest to the School.
