Enrolment Policy

In keeping with Department of Education policy, the Poseidon Primary’s enrolment protocol is non-discriminatory and without consideration of religious denomination, race or academic achievement. Admission is subject to approval by the Principal.  Special needs requirements or family court orders must be declared on the Application for Enrolment form.  We have a review and assessment period to ensure each child is placed appropriately.

Children Transferring

When children are about to leave our school or transfer to another school, parents are asked to contact us at least a week beforehand (or more if at all possible). This will provide adequate time to enable the staff to ensure that all records, books, medical cards, reports, etc have been completed or checked prior to the child’s departure. It also allows us to farewell our students and wish them all the best in their new school.
