Enrolments

General Requirements

Grantlea Downs has an enrolment scheme that may restrict enrolment if you live outside the school zone. If you live within the school zone (description and map available from the school office), then you have an automatic right to enrolment. If you live outside the school zone, you will need to complete an out-of-zone enrolment form and submit it to the office. We hold a ballot twice a year, where we may be able to accept students from out of zone.

New Entrants – 5-year-olds

Children are entitled to begin school on their fifth birthday. It is normal to have pre-enrolled your child at a school before they are five, so pre-visits can be arranged to support your child’s transition into school. Enrolments for children enrolling at five must be accompanied by their birth certificate and the items listed below.

About six weeks before reaching their 5th birthday, pre-school children may begin the NE/Yr1 class for part of the day. Parents will be contacted by Mrs Linda Gordon or Mrs Sharleen Hole, close to this time

Enrolments- other than 5-year-olds

A Grantlea Downs enrolment form must be completed and signed prior to beginning school.
Previous school records will be requested from the previous school by our administration staff, and you will meet with one of our senior leadership team members prior to starting school.

To enrol, we need to sight the following documents:

• Child’s birth certificate
• Home Address (and proof of this ie Power Account)
• Telephone Number
• Family Doctor
• Emergency Contact Numbers
• Details of relevant health problems.

Parents are encouraged to pre-enrol their children at any stage, but preferably by the age of 4. This helps with our future planning. An enrolment form must be completed and signed.
