Enrolment Management Plan
The school has an Enrolment Management Plan (EMP) in place which sets a maximum enrolment capacity. The EMP prescribes enrolment eligibility according to a defined catchment area which includes Eatons Hill and some parts of adjoining suburbs. Siblings of children currently enrolled at the school are automatically eligible. The school currently has some room for growth and so discretion make be exercised in determining eligibility. However, parents need to be aware that the EMP could be applied prior to the commencement of 2010.
Is my child the correct age to enrol in Prep in 2010?
In order to be enrolled in Prep in 2010, a child must turn 5 years of age between 1 July 2009 and 30 June 2010 (inclusive) i.e. a child born 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005 (inclusive).
