For children commencing school for the first time an information evening will be held in third term of each year.

Immunisation
The Public Health (Amendment) Act 1992 requires parents to provide documented evidence of a child's immunisation status on enrolment in school. From 1994, children enrolling in Kindergarten class will be required to provide the school with an Immunisation Certificate.
In the event of an outbreak of a vaccine-preventable disease in a school, unimmunised children will be required to remain at home for the duration of the outbreak, for their own protection.
