Enrolling your child at school
In Western Australia, children can start their education in Kindergarten, however compulsory schooling starts the following year in Pre-primary.
The Collection notice for enrolment is an explanation for parents about the personal information we collect at enrolment – and applies to all enrolment applications. It advises you:
- why we are collecting the information
- how it will be used
- who it may be shared with.
This is a requirement under the Privacy and Responsible Information Sharing Act 2024 (WA) and supports transparency and trust with our school communities.
Student Enrolments – Kindy to Year 6*
Parents should contact the school as soon as your child turns three in order to secure a place in the Kindy program for the following year as enrolments generally close early in term 3 (July) to allow for staffing and class organisation for the following year.
To enrol your child at Banksia Park Primary School, please follow the steps below.
