Preschool Enrolment

Applications for 2025 will be accepted from Term 2, 2024 onwards. 

Our 2024 classes are full, but you are welcome to place your name on our waiting list.

 

Application forms

Children can enrol in preschool for 2025 if they turn four years of age on or before 31st July 2025.

Enrolment applications for 2025 are accepted from the beginning of Term 2, 2024. Parents complete the Preschool application form and return all the required documentation as follows:

  1. Birth certificate or passport (the original must be sighted)
  2. Immunisation History Statement from Medicare (not the blue book)
  3. Proof of residential address i.e., council rates, lease agreement, bank statement, Centrelink payment statement, gas, phone, electricity, or water account.
  4. Visa documents or citizenship certificate for one parent, if both parents were born overseas
  5. Driver's license for both parents
  6. Low-income health care card (if applicable)
  7. Copies of any family law or other relevant court orders (if applicable)

Please submit your application forms by 27th September 2024, so they can be considered by our enrolment panel.

Applications received after this date will still be considered and children may be offered a place or be added to the waiting list, depending on availability and eligibility. 

Enrolment panel

An enrolment panel, established by the principal, will meet at the beginning of Term 4. The enrolment panel will review and prioritise applications and inform parents or carers in writing of the application results and advise them if their child has been accepted or placed on a waiting list.

Priority is given to:

  • Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander children
  • Children living in low socioeconomic circumstances
  • Children unable to access other early childhood services due to disadvantage or financial hardship.

The principal will offer enrolment in the following order (after the above priorities):

  • Children living within the school's enrolment designated intake area
  • Children living outside the school's designated intake area and who have siblings enrolled in the school
  • Children living outside the school's enrolment designated intake area.

Enrolment in our preschool does not automatically mean your child can enrol in kindergarten at our school if Canley Heights Public School is not your designated local school. Please speak to the school office if you are unsure about your child’s local school or visit https://schoolfinder.education.nsw.gov.au
