Preschool
Bass Hill Public School operates a preschool within the school grounds for children in the year prior to entering school. Two groups are enrolled, each one attending for five days each fortnight. The preschool is open from 9.00am to 3.00pm. Applications to enrol are available from the office.
Kindergarten
Students may enrol in Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year if they turn five years of age on or before 31 July in that year. Documentation providing proof of age, such as a birth certificate or passport is required on enrolment. In all cases, a parent must submit the “Application to Enrol in a NSW Government School” form. Parents may seek this form at any time during the year.
The Public Health (Amendment) Act 1992 requires parents to provide documented evidence of their child’s immunisation status on enrolment in schools. Parents have the right of not having their children immunised however, in the event of an outbreak of a vaccine preventable disease, unimmunised students will be required to remain at home for the duration of the outbreak.
Students transferring from other government schools can enrol at any time provided they reside within the local school area. Out of area enrolments are considered on a priority basis upon application.
When you are ready to enrol your child at Bass Hill Public School, please contact our office staff for any further information you require on (02) 9644 3431.
You are welcome to visit our school office during school hours and collect an enrolment form. Alternatively, enrolment forms are also available on our school website.
