Catchment Zone
Please note that we are a zoned school. We can only accept applications from families living in our school catchment zone.
If you would like to confirm that your residential address is part of our catchment zone, please view the document Catchment Area. If you are still unsure please contact the school office to confirm that your residential address is in St Thomas the Apostle zoning.
If you are not within our catchment area, you are welcome to apply for 'out-of-zone enrolment'
The priority order of placement for out-of-zone enrolments is:
- students with a sibling at the same permanent address who are attending the school at the same time.
- all other students in order of closeness of their home to the school.
Foundation Age Guidelines
To be eligible to begin Foundation (Prep) in 2026, your child must turn five years old on or before 30 April 2026. This requirement is set by the Department of Education to ensure children are developmentally ready to start school.
If your child’s fifth birthday is after 30 April 2026, they will need to wait until the following school year (2027) to begin Foundation, you can complete an Expression of Interest form for 2027.
If you're unsure about your child's readiness or have questions about their eligibility, please feel free to contact the school office. We're happy to support you in making the best decision for your child's educational journey.
