Frequently Asked Questions
When should I pre-enrol my child?
As soon as your child turns 4 or as soon as you know you are
moving to an address within our school zone.
Who can pre-enrol?
We have an enrolment scheme, which determines who
can enrol with us, based on their home address being within
Ashgrove School zone.
The Board of Trustees sometimes offers out of zone places for the following year. If you currently live out of zone and would like your child to attend Ashgrove School you can complete a pre-enrol form, circling out of zone, and your child will be put into the ballot.
Please contact the school if you require further information about out of zone places.
What is the purpose of pre-entry visits?
The purpose of pre-school visits is for both child
and parent/caregiver familiarisation. They give your child
the opportunity to become used to the environment, get to know
classmates and learn some of our school routines. It is a good time
to learn where the classroom is located, the room number, teacher
name, bag hooks, toilets, bells ringing, office and
playground.
May I have a look around the school prior to
pre-enrolling my child?
Yes. Please contact the school and arrange a
meeting with the Deputy Principal.
