2024 Enrolments
2024
Application for Enrolment for 2024 preschool year.
Dear Parents/guardian’s,
Thank you for considering our preschool in 2024. Exciting times ahead for us, as we move into our brand new, purpose built state of the art, four room preschool in 2024 on Boyes road, Moama.
To apply for a preschool position families/guardians, need to complete and return the Application for Enrolment Form by the June 30th 2023 closing date.
Forms returned after the closing date will be placed on the waiting list as per priority of place as outlined in the Enrolment Policy. Incomplete forms cannot be processed until all information requested is received.
Please be aware this is the application stage and does not guarantee a position. Positions are determined according to funding, staffing, space within our Centre and the priority of access service funding guidelines for NSW, and NSW Department of Education and Community services funding to our preschool. Our priority is always given to applications for prior to school groups, according to the Policy. As we are building a new Centre, we are hopeful to introduce new groups that is called Three Year old group preschool in 2024.
All successful and unsuccessful applicants will be notified via email in week 2 of Term 3. Successful applicants will be asked to return an acceptance slip via google docs with a deposit to secure their place within 14 days of notification.
Applications are accepted according to the Preschool’s Enrolment & Orientation Policy, https://moamapreschool.com.au/enrolment/#:~:text=ENROLMENT%20AND%20ORIENTATION%20POLICY
which is attached to the back of this form.
IMPORTANT: All current Victorian resident families and NSW families do need to reapply for preschool this does not continue on. Victorian residents are encouraged to also apply for positions at Victorian preschools as a place is not guaranteed at our Centre as we give priority to NSW residents, as does Victorian Kindergartens give priority to their residents.
All applicants will need to abide by the preschools Code of conduct https://moamapreschool.wpengine.com/policy/.
If families have questions with regards to our Centre, please visit our website www.moamapreschool.com.au
or give us a call as we are more than happy to share our preschool’s philosophy or discuss ages and which group to choose with regards to considering if your child will attend school in NSW or Vic as the cut off for school entry varies. We would also advise it’s important to contact the school you wish you child to attend and discuss their preference of ages of children in the foundation year and preference of what age to attend.
We do aim for every child to attend prior to school group preschool in their year prior to primary school entry. This is a joint initiative across Moama and Echuca. If children attend three-year-old group preschool or Young four year old group preschool then we assume the following year they would attend a prior to school group preschool class. Noting three-year-old group preschool or young four-year-old (turn 4 between 1st Jan-31st July in the year of attendance) group preschool is not compulsory to attend or to receive a position in prior to school classes. If the Director feels you have chosen the incorrect age correct than a conversation will be invited.
Allocation of 2024 groups and sessions/days are decided in week 3 of Term 4. This occurs after all places have been accepted and a budget is approved by the Committee of Management.
The application for enrolment forms will be available from 1st May 2023 on the preschool’s website. There will be a writable pdf to fill in and a section similar to that on the next page to upload forms.
All forms are due strictly by 30th June 2023.
Please direct enquires to the Nominated Supervisor
