Prep Enrolments
Your child is eligible to enter Prep if they turn five by 30 June in
that school year.
Prep is the compulsory
first year of schooling for children in
Queensland. It is a full-time program and children attend each
day from Monday to Friday during the normal school hours of 8:50am to 3:00pm at
our school.

Enrolment management
Kimberley Park State School is enrolment managed. This
means that we are required to prioritise places in our school to children who
are living within our geographical catchment. As such, there are different
enrolment processes in place depending on whether you live in-catchment or
out-of-catchment

In-catchment enrolments and siblings
· For students who live in-catchment, or siblings of students already
attending Kimberley Park State School, completed enrolment forms will be
accepted from March 1 of the year before they are due to commence Prep.
These students are guaranteed a position at Kimberley Park State School.
· Enrolment forms are available on the school website or from the school
office.
· A birth certificate and acceptable proof of residence will be required
to accept the enrolment application.
· Office staff will need to sight one of each of the following to
establish proof of residency:
One primary source – a current lease agreement, or
rates notice, or unconditional sale agreement, and
One secondary source – a utility bill (e.g.
electricity, gas) showing this same address and parent’s/legal guardian’s name
Please note that a Driver’s License is NOT regarded by
Education Queensland as sufficient proof of residency.
·
Students living in-catchment are guaranteed a position at KPSS.
Out-of-catchment enrolments
·
For students who live out-of-catchment, completed enrolment forms will
be accepted from March 1 of the year before they are due to commence
Prep.
·
Enrolment forms are available on the school website or from the school
office.
·
A birth certificate will be required to accept the enrolment
application.
·
Students residing out-of-catchment will be placed on a waiting list in
order of receipt of a complete enrolment application, via mail or email or
in person.
Processing of in-catchment & sibling enrolments
As enrolment forms for in-catchment and sibling
applications are processed through our school office and entered onto our
electronic system, parents will be mailed a letter confirming their child’s
enrolmen.t
Processing of out-of-catchment enrolments
From early September each year we regularly
review our enrolment data and make ongoing decisions regarding the feasibility
of accepting out-of-catchment applications. Parents will be contacted by phone
after this date in the event that we are able to accommodate your request for
enrolment at Kimberley Park SS.
