Our school can help with enrolment queries throughout the year.
Local enrolment area
Check your address on School Finder to see if it is within our local intake area. Most schools have designated local enrolment areas. Note: local enrolment areas are subject to change.
How to enrol
If you live in our intake area and would like to apply to enrol at our school, start by submitting an online enrolment application. Online enrolment is currently only available for Australian or New Zealand citizens and permanent residents.
If you are not able to apply online or you prefer not to, download the paper application to enrol (PDF 768.4KB) form. Please complete the form in English. A translated application to enrol may help you do this.
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.

Temporary visas and international students
Effective from the 2020 school year holders of temporary visas will not be able to enrol at Parramatta Public School, irrespective of their local address. This does not affect students currently enrolled at the school. The next available school that has capacity to accommodate students is Bayanami Public School located at 3 Marist Place, Parramatta. Please contact Bayanami Public School on telephone number (02) 9890 8169.

Kindergarten 2023
Your child can start Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year if they turn five on or before 31 July in that year. By law, all children must be enrolled in school by their sixth birthday.
Because students start new work in their new class at the beginning of the school year, it would be an advantage for your child both socially and educationally, to start school as soon as possible in the new year. Kindergarten enrolments for 2023 are students born on or between 01/08/2017 to 31/07/2018.
