Kindergarten Classes
As with all ACT schools, children are generally enrolled in Kindergarten 2025 if they turn 5 before 30 April 2025. Some parents choose to keep their children at home for an extra year if they were born close to the cut-off date and are perhaps not quite ready for full-time schooling.
School Fees
