Enrolments
Starting
school is an exciting time for students and parents. The first step is to
determine when your child can commence their Prep year by visiting the
Department of Education’s Prep-ready calculator.
Prep Enrolments 2024 - 2025
For families who live within the school catchment Prep enrolments for 2025 open on Monday April 22, 2024 and close Friday September 13, 2024 at 3:00 pm for families who live within the school's catchment.

Prep-transition Morning
As part of the Parent Induction Session held on the 4th and 5th of November, you will be invited to select a morning in late November for your child to participate in a prep transition morning. The morning session will run from 9.30 am until 10.30 am and will be held in one of the Prep Classrooms. This experience is designed to give the children a taste of Prep and offer them the opportunity to discuss this experience with you. This morning session is an essential element of the Transition Process and will provide the opportunity for your child to meet other children coming to Prep in 2025 as well as become a little more familiar with the school.
Parents are requested to remain with their children during this session so that they can share the activities and experience of the Transition morning.
Local kindergarten affiliations
The
Prep/Year 1 Deputy Principal works closely with kindergarten programs in our
school catchment area to provide information about the enrolment process to
parents. Some kindergarten classes within walking distance will visit our
school, while other kindergartens will instead receive a visit from a Buderim
Mountain State School staff member.
