Welcome to Chilwell Primary School
2023 Prep Enrolment
Eligibility for school:
Children are eligible for enrolment if they turn five (5) years of age on or before 30th April 2023. At Chilwell, we will accept enrolments at any time during the remainder of the year if places are available. To assist with planning for 2023 (particularly grade and staffing arrangements) we ask that parents wishing to enrol their child lodge an enrolment form asap. We require proof of age (eg. copy of Birth Certificate) for your child and a completed Immunisation Certificate (available from Medicare via mygov).
Please note:
- Due to the limited classroom accommodation at Chilwell Primary School, the School Council has found it necessary to formulate an Enrolment Policy to ensure that the overall school population remains at a manageable level. This means we can only confirm the enrolment of a child for whom Chilwell is the closest State Primary School.
- Any new families will be requested to supply verification of residence.
Note: This does not apply to families with siblings currently enrolled in the school.
The borders of the enrolment zone are indicated on our website. The school, under DET guidelines/policy adheres to the placement of children to their nearest school when deciding eligibility.
Further enrolments will be on a provisional basis only and will be confirmed if places are available.
