Enrolment

We would like to help you with your enrolment enquiries anytime throughout the year - just call (02 9524 6379) or email us (tarenpoint-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au).

Starting school
Your child can start Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year if he/she turns five on or before 31 July in that year. By law, all children must be enrolled in school by their sixth birthday.

Our school accepts all children from within our local zoned intake area. An Out-of-Area application (available to download on our Documents page) can be made for students not living within the local zoned intake area. Such applications will be assessed by the school's enrolment committee and are subject to vacancies within the grade applied for.

After your appointment with us, you may be asked to complete an application to enrol in a NSW public school form and return it to us. We will notify you of the result of your application.

Please note that this form must be completed in English. Help is available for parents who do not read English. There are also translations of the enrolment application which may help you fill out the form in
English.

Local Zoned Intake Area / Drawing Area
Please contact the school to confirm if you live in our catchment area. If not, we will need you to complete the Out of Area Enrolment application and return it along with the Enrolment form. The application will then be reviewed by our placement panel.

Enrolment Procedures
If your child has not been previously enrolled in a NSW public school, you will need to bring these documents with you when you come to the school to enrol:

your child's birth certificate or identity documents
proof of student's address - originals of different documents such as your council rates notice or residential lease and electricity bill
immunisation history statement based on the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR)
family law or other relevant court orders (if applicable).

If your child is not a permanent resident you will also need to provide:

passport or travel documents
current visa and previous visas (if applicable).

For children already enrolled in a NSW public school we only require:

proof of student's address - originals of different documents such as your council rates notice or residential lease and electricity bill
family law or other relevant court orders (if applicable).

If your child is coming from a non-government school, contact us to make an appointment to discuss your child's potential enrolment.

If your child has a temporary visa or visitor visa you will first need to apply to enrol by contacting the temporary residents program who will give you forms to bring to the school.

It's important that you tell the principal if your child has any special circumstances, allergies, health or medical conditions, before your child starts school.
