Starting School at Carlton South

In the State of NSW children turning 5 years old by July 31st can enrol at the commencement of the school year. Children can also be enrolled up till the end of Term 2 each year if they turn 5 by July 31st, although it is preferable that all students commence as close as possible to the beginning of the year. Children who are 6 years old must, by law, be enrolled in a school.

Kindergarten is a year of exploration - of learning routines at school and of spreading wings to become more of an individual within the school society.

Our Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C) is made up of parents and carers, teachers and community members. The P&C meets regularly to contribute to decision-making, developing policies and management plans as well as fundraising.

The Parents and Citizens' Association meets Wednesday evenings during Weeks 3 and 7 in the school library to discuss upcoming fundraising events and the school agenda.

Our major focus is providing opportunities to support school educational programs and the school environment in which students learn.

Our P&C organise a variety of events to raise money for much needed resources in the school.
