Starting Primary School
The first year of primary school is known as Reception. For further information, please view the attachment ‘Getting Ready for Reception’.
When your child is eligible to begin school will depend on their date of birth. Most children start school in the year they turn 5 years of age.
Children must be enrolled at school by the age of 6. This is the compulsory starting age for children in South Australia.
We have 2 major enrolment intakes, one for children at the beginning of the year and one for children to start school in term 3.
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.
You are welcome to complete a Registration of Interest form and return it to the school.
Once we have received your form we will contact you and assist you with the enrolment process. Preference will be given to families for whom Modbury School P-6 is the closest school, and to those students with a sibling already enrolled at our site.
