How to enrol

Online enrolment can also be used for out-of-area enrolment. Please note that out-of-area enrolment procedures are subject to the department’s enrolment policy.

Enrolment applications are finalised at the school.

WoW Start is a time for us to get to know your child, and for your child to get to know us, and their future classmates. Our sessions typically start off with play-based learning. We then learn how to sit and listen to a story. Your child will have the opportunity to engage in different activities such as arts and craft, music and dance and different games. During this time teachers may take notes on things like, if a child is left or right-handed or if they can recognise or write their own name. Read our WoW Start handbook (PDF 4.4MB) for more information.

Welcome Picnic 

Families are invited to come for a picnic at Wollongong West Public School to meet teachers, families and new friends. Bring along a picnic blanket and food to share. A tour of our shcool will also be provided.

Children are invited to come to school to participate in our WoW Start program where they will learn about school through play, song, dance and other fun activities. Parents will be invited to come along to an information morning while their child engages in play based learning activities to get familar with their new school.
