Moss Vale Public School looks forward to working in partnership with you and watching your child grow and succeed in his or her learning and social emotional growth over the coming years.

The aim of our Inclusive Orientation and School Readiness Program is to provide the opportunity for future Kindergarten students to get a taste of life at ‘big’ school, help your child feel at ease and make a smooth transition when school starts next year.

It is a requirement when you fill out your application that you also attach your childs original birth certificate, proof of address and their immunisation record. More details on what else you need to supply are noted on the back page of the Application to Enrol form.

When to start school

Your child can start Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year if they turn five on or before 31 July in that year. By law, all children must be enrolled in school by their sixth birthday.

When your child starts school is an individual decision. You may wish to discuss this with your child's preschool teacher, carer, doctor or your local primary school.

If your child attends a preschool or childcare centre, the school can work with the to help get to know your child and for you and your child to get to know the school.
