Enrolments

You can also be taken on a tour around our warm and vibrant school environment.

We have open mornings every Tuesday from 9:00am - 10:30am for children who will be starting school.

New Entrant Visits provide the opportunity for children to familiarise themselves with the school and classroom environment, begin to understand classroom routines and expectations and get to know the other students.

A parent or caregiver must accompany each child to the New Entrant visit and remain with the child throughout the morning. This will enable you to support your child in their transition to school as well as providing an opportunity for the teacher to explain class organisation in greater detail. Unfortunately we are not able to cater for younger brothers or sisters. We would ask you to make alternative arrangements for their care.

The children are welcome to bring morning tea and join the other children for morning interval.

Please book your child's New Entrant visits at the school office.

Macleans Primary School is proud to offer a pre-school programme for 4 year old children that promotes the transition of pre-school children into the primary school setting.

We are proud to offer a pre-school programme for 4 year old children that aids in the transition of pre-school children in to the primary school setting. The programme is designed to develop Literacy (alphabet/phonics knowledge, writing and reading), Numeracy (number recognition, counting, addition and subtraction) and Social Skills (following routines and instructions and gaining independence). The programme is held on Wednesday afternoons from 1:45pm - 2:45pm and a parent is required to attend these sessions with their child.

You are welcome to enrol your child at any stage prior to their fifth birthday. We would appreciate having enrolment forms completed and stationery paid for on the day of the pre-entry visit that you attend. This will enable the teacher to have everything ready for your child's first day at school.

These are readily available from the School Office and give a full explanation of school organisation, routines and uniform requirements.

Please report to the School Office before taking your child to the classroom.

New entrants finish school at 3:00pm from their first day at school. Should you find that your child is becoming very tired in the first month of school you are welcome to make arrangements with the teacher to collect them a little earlier until they have adjusted to school routines.

We are looking forward to having your child at Macleans Primary and look forward to a long and happy association with you.
