Prep and enrolments
Prep at Tannum Sands State School gives our students the very best start to school by helping them make a smooth transition to Year 1 and sets them on the path to lifelong learning.
Prep is 5 days a week and children stay all day. Children must be 5 by 30 June in the year they start prep.
View the Department's online calculator to determine when your child can commence their preparatory year.
We look forward to the opportunity of forming a partnership with you and your child.
Preparing for Prep
Each year early in Term 3, our future Prep parents are invited to a Prep Open Afternoon where they can come along, view the school and services we offer, familiarise themselves with the Prep classrooms and meet our friendly staff.
Each year early in Term 4, Parent Information Sessions are conducted to provide further information about our Prep programs and the role of Prep in the Junior School.
To complete the enrolment and transition process 1-1 parent teacher interviews are then conducted to gather further information about your child to ensure that they have the best possible start to their schooling journey.
