Reception intakes

Reception students have two intakes – beginning of year and mid-year

If your child turns 5 years old:

  • before 1 May they can start reception in term 1 of that year.
  • between 1 May and 31 October, they can start reception in term 3 (mid-year).
  • after 31 October they can start reception in the following year.

Children who start reception at the beginning of the year will generally complete 4 terms of reception, while children who start reception through the mid-year intake will complete 6 terms of reception.

All children must be enrolled in school before they turn 6.

Registration of Interest forms can be lodged for students who would like to enrol as a reception student more than 6 months out from their actual start date.

Reception – Registration of interest

Confirmation of enrolment is made 6 months before the start date.
