Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.
Local enrolment area
Most schools have designated local enrolment areas. The School Finder shows our local enrolment area. Note: local enrolment areas are subject to change.
How to enrol
Contact us when you’re ready to enrol your child in our school. You may need to attend an interview with the principal. There you can discuss any medical conditions or other special circumstances before your child starts school. We may also complete a risk assessment on the enrolment.
For more information, visit primary school enrolment.

The application form must be completed in English. However, a translated application to enrol may help you to fill out the form in English.
Non-local enrolments
As outlined in the department’s enrolment policy, our school may accept enrolments from outside our local enrolment area if places are available.
We will assess applications for non-local enrolment on a case-by-case basis.
Temporary visas and international students

Distance education
Distance education is an equity program for students who are geographically isolated or whose individual circumstances prevent them from regularly attending school. Students must meet one of the conditions in the Distance Education Enrolment Procedures to be eligible to access this program as a full-time student.

Kindergarten and Homelink
Truscott Street Public School is currently taking enrollments for the 2020 Kindergarten cohort. If you have any questions about this enrollment process, please feel free to call the school or visit our office.
Once enrolled, your child will be invited to attend our HomeLink program as an introduction to school. The program has been designed to give your child the best possible start to Primary School education. HomeLink seeks to address any concerns parents and children have about starting school and to provide the school with valuable information about students.
The program has two components – one for parents and one for children. These two components will run concurrently during a two hour session, over three consecutive Friday mornings.
The first component involves students spending three two-hour sessions in our Kindergarten classes. During these sessions, the school staff will work to gain some understanding of students enjoyment and skills in Play, Literacy, Numeracy, Creative Arts and Social Skills. The second component involves parents in three workshops designed to inform parents about aspects of our school and to develop strategies to support learning at home. These strategies will strengthen the home school partnership in the education of our students.
Homelink 2019, for the 2020 Kindergarten students, will be on Friday 1 November, Friday 8 November and Friday 15 November.
