Enrolment
Please contact the office for details of current enrolment scheme. See FAQ's for zone details. Starting school is an exciting time for both children and their families. At Thorrington School we work hard to ensure each child has a positive and successful transition to school. We look forward to building a relationship with you, your family and your child. Enrolment Procedures To help with our planning, we encourage you to enrol your child at least 12 months before they start school. We acknowledge that not all children start school on their fifth birthday. Parents may wish to discuss their child's readiness for school with their Early Childhood Teachers and/or our Junior Team Leader. When enrolling at Thorrington School, you will need to bring a copy of your child’s birth certificate, a copy of their immunisation certificate, a signed statement regarding your place of residence (enclosed in the enrolment pack) and supporting documentation. Turning 5 in December? To ensure a successful transition to school for children who turn 5 in December, we recommend that they begin in the first term of the following year.
Pre-Entry Visits The New Entrant teacher will contact you approximately 4 weeks before your child’s fifth birthday, so there is time for two pre-entry visits before starting school. Additional visits can be arranged if necessary. Changing Contact Details Whenever there is a change of address, home or business telephone numbers, mother’s hours of work, medical information, or family circumstances, please inform the school promptly. Out of date information can mean that we are unable to contact you in an emergency. New Parents Morning Tea At the end of each term a new parents morning tea is held for the children who are starting in the following term. This is an opportunity to find out about procedures for starting school, to meet other parents and the Teachers who work in the New Entrant classes.
