Enrolling at Orbost Primary School
We welcome enrolments anytime of the year. Call in, speak with our Principal and take a tour of our school to see our classrooms and programs in action.
To complete the enrolment process you will need an enrolment form and present a copy of your child’s birth certificate and the school entry immunisation certificate.
If your child is in need of an asthma or anaphylaxis plan, please let our office staff know.
Children enrolling in prep need to turn five years of age before the 30th of April of that year before they can start school. Please talk to your child’s kinder teacher for advice on your child starting school. Parents need to consider your child’s social, emotional, physical and intellectual development before making their important decision to enrol him/her in school.
Please take the time to peruse our information booklet which outlines more of our schools programs and procedures.
Kinder to school transition starts in August with “Let's Play Schools” where parents are encouraged to bring children along and join in the prep classes. This gives parents a chance to look around the cluster schools and decide which one best suits their child’s needs.
Once you have made the decision to enrol at OPS, in November we run our School Orientation Program where the children who will be in prep next year attend for a short period of time over a number of consecutive weeks to familiarise themselves with school routines. During these sessions we run information sessions for parents on school policies and programs, tips for starting school and how to help with literacy and numeracy learning.
In December children attend orientation day where they experience what school is really like.
Any additional information is sent home to parents in January along with a welcoming letter to your child.
