Enrolment

Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.

Local enrolment area

Most schools have designated local enrolment areas. The School Finder shows our local enrolment area. Note: local enrolment areas are subject to change.

How to enrol 

Contact us when you’re ready to enrol your child in our school. You may need to attend an interview with the principal. There you can discuss any medical conditions or other special circumstances before your child starts school. We may also complete a risk assessment on the enrolment.

For more information, visit primary school enrolment.

Starting School

Children who have a positive start to school are likely to engage and experience ongoing academic and social success.

Our school runs a comprehensive transition program for students beginning Kindergarten. The program involves mulitple orientation sessions for students as well as parent information sessions.

If your child has any specific health or learning needs please contact the school to organise a meeting with the Stage 1 Assistant Principal or Learning Support Teacher. 

For more information and support about starting school, visit the department Starting School website.

The application form must be completed in English. However, a translated application to enrol may help you to fill out the form in English.

Out-of-area enrolments

As outlined in the department’s enrolment policy, our school may accept enrolments from outside our local enrolment area if places are available.

We will assess applications for non-local enrolment on a case-by-case basis.

Students who live outside of the school catchment area can apply to Berry Public School. Out of area enrolments are only accepted if the application meets the school out of area enrolment policy. Please contact the school for enrolment procedures.

Temporary visas and international students

Distance education

Distance education is an equity program for students who are geographically isolated or whose individual circumstances prevent them from regularly attending school. Students must meet one of the conditions in the Distance Education Enrolment Procedures to be eligible to access this program as a full-time student.
