Finding and enrolling in a school

Schools can help with enrolment questions throughout the year. During the enrolment process, let the principal know of any special circumstances, allergies, health or medical conditions affecting your child.

Term dates

The school year starts in late January, after the summer vacation period. Make sure you're familiar with important school dates including term dates and holidays.

Finding the right person if you have questions or concerns

If you have a question and want to talk to someone before your child starts high school, you can contact your local school.

Once your child starts high school, the subject teacher can discuss your child’s progress in that subject. The head teacher of a specific subject or the year adviser can also be a good place to start.
