Offers of Enrolment
Once the enrolment interview has been conducted and a place has been offered, you will be required to complete, sign and return an Enrolment Contract along with other relevant forms to confirm your acceptance of our offer. An Enrolment Confirmation Bond of $800 per child is required to secure each enrolment. This bond is refundable based on the conditions detailed in our Fee Policy.
Prep Enrolment Process
If you are looking to enrol your child in Prep you must start the process the year before your child is expected to enrol in Prep. Children must be 5 by 30 June in the year they start Prep.
- Prep Information Night – the enrolment process for future Prep students at Grace Primary begins at the end of February each year prior to the student starting Prep. This is when the school holds their Prep Information Night for current and new families.
- Interviews are then held with the Principal, parents and potential prep student directly following the Information Night.
- From March to May, first round offers of placement are made, where information packs are provided to families. Interviews will then be held each month thereafter. All enrolment places are at the discretion of the Principal.
- Once offers of enrolment are accepted, an Enrolment Confirmation Bond is required to be paid in order for a place to be held for the child. The Enrolment Confirmation Bond is non-refundable to Prep families who do not commence on the due start date.
- Orientation Night is held in November each year for families of students who have been successful in securing a placement in our Prep program.
- Prep Orientation Morning for future Prep students in the following year is held at the end of November normally between 9am – 10.00am on a school day.
- The official start of the Prep Year begins on the same day as the school opens for Term 1.
