New Enrolments to Tinwald
The following information will help you learn a lot about Tinwald School.
If you would like to have a look at our facilities and discuss the enrolment of your child then we encourage you to contact our Office on
03 3084555 and to speak to Raewyn. She will make a time for a tour of the school with either Peter Livingstone, Tinwald School Principal, or Sue Wakefield, Tinwald School Deputy Principal.
Parents enrolling children should make an appointment with the Deputy Principal prior to the visits.
A parent is required to show a copy of the Certificate of Birth before a child can be enrolled. This can be obtained from the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages. A certificate showing immunisations completed should also be brought to the enrolment for viewing.
Preschool Previsit & Enrolment Transition visits
New entrants may be enrolled before their fifth birthday, but cannot legally attend school before that date. About three weeks before your child starts school you will be contacted to arrange the enrolment meeting. At this meeting we fill out the forms and you will have the opportunity to ask questions, meet your child’s teacher, and visit your child’s new classroom. You are welcome to bring your child to this meeting.
Please let us know of any special needs that your child may have so that we are able to consider them in the classroom.
At the enrolment meeting we will also arrange some pre-school visits for your child. At Tinwald School there are usually three such visits.
Visit times are:
8:40-10:25 (visit 1),
8:40-10:45 (visit 2)
8:40-11:45 (visit 3)
If these times are not suitable other times can be arranged.
Moving to a New School
If your child is moving to new school please inform the class teacher so that arrangements can be made to forward the necessary information to the next school. This will also allow us to gather up your child's belongings and the books etc. belonging to Tinwald School. When a child enters a new school the Principal sends to this previous school for the official school records.
