Mt Whitestone State School caters for students from Prep to Year 6. We do not currently enforce an enrolment management plan, which means you do not need to live within the catchment area to attend the school.
In Prep, students must turn 5 by the 30th June to enrol. Prep is compulsory. Proof of age is required for children enrolling into Prep. Proof may be one of the following:
- sighting the Birth Certificate
- a signed Statement by a Doctor or a Minister of Religion
- a Certificate of Baptism
- a signed Statement by a Parent before a Justice of the Peace
- a Statutory Declaration
Enrolment of all students occurs at the Administration office. Admission to all other years requires an interview with the principal. Please make an appointment with administration.
At the interview, the Principal will:
- Discuss the school Student Code of Conduct
- Explain the Internet, and Media Release forms
- Check enrolment details and student needs (medical, personal, learning)
- Take the family on a quick tour of the school, classrooms, library and playgrounds.
It is expected that students will attend their first day at our school wearing the Mt Whitestone State School uniform.
On your child's first day, please come to the school office with your child and a staff member will escort you to his/her classroom.
To enrol your child in our school, please download and complete the Department's enrolment form (PDF, 5.8MB).
Please also familiarise with our Student code of conduct (PDF, 12MB)
