At Daisy Hill State School, our Prep year welcomes children to their new learning environment with exciting learning experience. Your child will find friends to share with, and learn with their teachers. Learning involves developing a relationship of trust. We aim to provide a welcoming and personalised learning environment designed to inspire active learners in a natural setting to ensure they leave as knowledgeable, confident, resilient individuals.
Prep is the first year of school and provides the foundation for your child's education. Children attend from Monday to Friday during normal school hours, 8.50am to 3.00pm.
Enrolment Process
Enrolling in Prep at Daisy Hill State School is easy!
1. Check when your child can commence Prep
Prospective parents of prep enrolments are asked to view the Department's prep ready reckoner calculator to determine when your child can commence their preparatory year.
2. Check if you live inside our catchment zone
Please use this School Catchment Tool to see if you live inside our school catchment zone. You will be required to bring proof of address as part of the enrolment interview process. If you don't live inside our catchment area, you may still submit an enrolment enquiry, however, positions are subject to the terms set out in the enrolment management plan for Daisy Hill State School.
3. Complete an enrolment enquiry
Complete the online enquiry form to ensure a member of our Enrolments Team can contact you with any upcoming enrolment events and opportunities.
4.Book a Welcome Interview & School Tour
All enrolling Prep students and their parents/carers are required to participate in a Welcome to Prep enrolment interview. This is an opportunity for staff to meet your child, and for you to share information specifically about your child.
Our interactive school tour
is designed to employ age appropriate pedagogies and promote early literacy skills as we use a story book and clues to lead us around our school environment. This is an opportunity for your child to explore their new environment as well as for you as their parent to see the school's facilities.
Welcome Interviews & School Tours will take place on various Saturdays throughout the year. We will be in touch to confirm upcoming Enrolment Events.
