Early Years & Kindergarten
Early Learning Centre Waitlist
The first step to enrolment in The Cathedral School Early Learning Centre is to join the waitlist. Families need to complete the Xplor online application form.
Once your registration has been received you will receive an email or call from the Early Learning Centre confirming your details. To secure your child’s placement on the waitlist you will be required to arrange payment of the Registration Fee of $50, within 14 days of receiving the confirmation email. Once payment has been received your child’s name will be placed on the waitlist, and the centre will make contact when a position becomes available.
The position of your child on the waitlist is linked to these factors:
- The child’s date of birth
- The date the application is received
- The family’s connection with The Cathedral School (siblings or family members at the school)
- The Australian Government Priority of Access Guidelines (see www.facsia.gov.au for details)
When there is the likelihood of a position becoming available for your child, you will receive an offer. Once that offer has been accepted we will contact you to:
-
Complete a detailed Enrolment Form and pay the confirmation fee
-
Attend an interview with the relevant co-ordinator – this will provide important information regarding policies, programs, and daily routines and give you an opportunity to ask questions, tour the Centre and clarify areas of interest
-
Provide the child’s original birth certificate, immunisation records, and copies of any Court Orders, Parents Orders, or Parenting Plans relating to the child.
Most placements will commence from January, but there are sometimes vacancies during the year which may be filled from the waitlist. Places offered in the Early Learning Centre will be for specific days, and are not transferable.
Please note: Enrolment in the Early Learning Centre does not guarantee your child a place at The Cathedral School – a separate application is required.
