The Early Learning Centre (ELC) offers an ideal beginning to your child’s journey at The Cathedral School. Our program is thoughtfully aligned with the Junior School, ensuring our youngest learners are confident, capable, and well prepared for a seamless transition into Prep.
As part of this pathway, families intending to continue their child’s education at Cathedral are strongly supported through our enrolment process.
The first step in enrolling your child in the Early Learning Centre is to join our ELC waitlist. If you are planning for your child to continue through to Prep at The Cathedral School, we strongly encourage you to also submit an application for Prep in your intended year of entry. This ensures your child is recognised as a future Prep applicant and can be prioritised accordingly.

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.
