Enrolments
Queenspark School — December 12, 2022
We accept enrolments for our school when your child turns 4 years of age. The earlier we receive your enrolment the better so we can plan for class sizes for the coming year.
Please make sure that your address falls into the school's enrolment zone before completing the online enrolment form.
An 'in zone' address means this is the address where the child sleeps from the first day of enrolment.
We are currently not accepting any out of zone enrolments. Please see the out of zone rules below.
