Enrolment

The first year of primary school is known as reception.

When your child is eligible to begin school will depend on their date of birth, and whether you’re applying to government or non-government school.

Most children start school in the year they turn 5 years of age.

Children must be enrolled at school by the age of 6. This is the compulsory starting age for children in South Australia.
