Enrolments

"The Woodlands School Board of Trustees invites applications from parents who wish to enrol their child/ren at Woodlands School for next term and 2026 in Years 0 to 8. 

Enrolment at the school is governed by an enrolment scheme, details of which are available from the Woodlands School Office.
Application forms are to be collected from the Woodlands School Office.
The deadline for receipt of applications for out-of-zone places is 2/7/25. 
The Woodlands School Board of Trustees has determined that 10 places are likely to be available for out-of-zone students next term and 2026 in Years 0-8. 
The exact number of places will depend on the number of applications received from students who live within the Woodlands School zone.
If the number of out-of-zone applications exceeds the number of places available, students will be selected by ballot. If a ballot is required, it will be held on 3/7/25.

Parents will be informed of the outcome of the ballot within three days of the ballot being held."

The school’s beautiful safe physical environment supports creative play at morning tea and lunch times.

Our new entrant classes are a combination of a play based approach and a more traditional approach.
