Apply to enrol by 4 June to get an offer from 26 July. Applications made after 4 June will receive an offer later in the year.

Enrolling for preschool
In the ACT, if your child turns four on or before 30 April, they can start preschool the first day of term 1 that year. Every four-year-old is guaranteed 15 hours of high-quality preschool education a week.

Priority Enrolment Areas
Canberra is a growing city, so the ACT Government have introduced some changes to Priority Enrolment Areas for 2022. This includes including new shared zones to support enrolment at schools in some high growth areas.
