Enrolment Application

Parents are required to complete an Application for Enrolment form for their child. The Application for Enrolment form can be obtained here Enrolment Application Package or at the school reception. Once the application for enrolment has been approved and a place confirmed, then a WA Public School Student Enrolment Form can be completed. Please note that a copy of the students Birth Certificate and current Immunisation records will be required on enrolment.

In order that parents may be contacted readily, please ensure the school retains up-to-date information by notifying the school office of any change of address, telephone number, email address, health details or other relevant information.

If you are unsure of the starting age of young students please access the Department of Education School Age Calculator.

Parents of children with special needs are asked to contact the school to ensure all their child’s education requirements are met during the enrolment process.

Please note if your child has a medical condition you will be asked to complete a Medical Action Plan.

Obtaining your child’s immunisation records

Pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten children must be up to date with all scheduled immunisations for their age to be able to enrol.

To enroll, a child must have one of the following documents:

  • an Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) Immunisation History Statement, no more than two months old with a status of ‘up to date’
  • an AIR Immunisation History Form, no more than six months old, if the child is on a catch up schedule
  • a valid immunisation certificate issued or declared by the Chief Health Officer.

If a child does not have an up to date Immunisation History Statement, exemptions because of particular family circumstances may apply. These exemptions are determined by the principal.

You can obtain a copy of your child’s vaccination record online. Your child’s immunisation history is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week through Medicare Australia’s Online Service. You can register for online services at Medicare Australia or at a Medicare office.
