Port Lincoln & Poonindie Preschool Centralised Intention to Enrol Form
Please only complete ONE Centralised Intention to Enrol form for your child at a preschool in Port Lincoln / Poonindie
In South Australia, we operate under the same day policy where:
- If your child turns four before May 1, they are eligible to start preschool on the first day of Term one that year.
- If your child turns four on or after May 1, they will start preschool the first day of Term one the following year.
- If your child’s 4th birthday falls between mid-December and the end of April, resulting in them starting Preschool
before they are 4 and school before they are 5, you have the choice to postpone your child’s start to the following
year. Please seek advice from a local Preschool Director or the Early Childhood Leader at the Port Lincoln
Education Office.
Compulsory school starting age is 6. Same first day commenced for schools in 2014.
*Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and children under guardianship of the Minister are eligible to commence at age 3.
Please ask if you are unsure about when your child could start.
