Enrolments

Starting Kinder 

Byron Bay Public School offers your child a great start to life.

Children may be enrolled in Kindergarten providing that they have reached the age of 5 years by 31^st of July of that year. Documentary evidence of the child’s date of birth must be presented at the time of enrolment.

Enrolment forms are available from our office or can be downloaded from the Department of Education website (pdf file). In the case of children starting Kindergarten, completed forms should be lodged with the school as early as possible in the year preceding. This ensures that you are kept up to date with "Getting Started" events.
