EnrolmentParents are required to ensure that their children are enrolled at school from the age of 6 – 15 years. However, children may be enrolled at school earlier, provided they turn 5 on or before July 31st of that year. There are currently no restrictions on enrolling at Oakville Public.
On enrolment we need to sight a current passport, birth certificate and /or citizenship certificate to verify birth date and nationality status. If a birth certificate is not available then a statutory declaration is required. We are a comprehensive and inclusive school and we welcome all students and their families.
Enrolment forms are available from the admin office. The information on these forms is entered on the school’s computer system and becomes the child’s record. Any changes to this information e.g. change of address, phone number should be communicated to the office to enable the system to be altered.
Kindergarten Enrolment
Each year, in November, the children and their families enrolled for Kindergarten the following year, are invited to visit the school for an orientation morning. At this time the children are introduced to their classrooms and their buddies while parents and carers are given an introduction to the school. School routines, procedures and policies are explained. School uniforms may also be purchased at this time. The children are also invited to take part in the Coming to School Program which involves a series of visits to the kindergarten rooms over a period of four weeks.
Below are some links that parents can download. The first is for parents enrolling their child in kindergarten and the next is a book for you to read with your child before starting kindergarten.
