Custody

The school's role is to provide for the education of the student and their safety and welfare while in the school's care and control. If there are custodial court papers in place for a child, it is vital to inform the principal of the access provisions.

Written documentation including copies of court orders and relevant legal documents must be provided on enrolment.  The school must be notified of any changes.

Important Information

  • An application can only be made at ONE WA GOVERNMENT PRIMARY SCHOOL.
  • Applications WILL NOT be processed until all supporting documentation has been provided.
  • During the school year, students are usually placed in classrooms within two days of completing the enrolment process.
  • New students must present to the school office in school uniform, with their student booklist items. They will be accompanied along with parents/caregivers, to their classroom.

Eligibility and Priority for Dependants of Overseas Students (WA Public Schools)

Under Western Australian Government regulations, dependants of overseas students have a lower enrolment priority than Australian citizens, permanent residents, and certain temporary residents.

Dependants of international Master's and PhD students may enrol in public schools; however, placement at the nearest local school is not guaranteed, particularly in areas of high demand.

Overseas fee-paying students may only be accepted at the discretion of the school principal, subject to available classroom space and suitable educational programs.

Please note that Kindergarten is non-compulsory, and placements at this level lower priority for TIWA compared to compulsory year levels.

Other Visa Holders

Subclass 457 and 482 visa holders: Children have the same access to public education as local students and can enrol directly at their local public school

New Zealand citizens (subclass 444): May apply directly to a school; a passport stamp confirming visa status is sufficient.

For all other visa subclasses, enrolment requirements and fees vary. Please refer to  TIWA for full details.

Language and Support

If your child speaks a language other than English, the school will arrange an EALD assessment to determine the best learning support. Any additional support fees must be paid to TIWA before your child starts school.

Parents are responsible for:

Immunisation for children moving from Overseas

When moving to Australia, ensure your child's overseas immunisations are recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR). Take your child's immunisation documents to a doctor or immunisation provider, who will update their AIR record and advise on any additional immunisations needed, or book an appointment with the Central Immunisation Clinic. More information is available from the Department of Health.

If translation or support services are needed:

  1. Check your eligibility and apply for the Australian government's Free Translating Service (external site).
  2. If you are not eligible for the Free Translating Service, ask your immunisation provider for help. The provider will arrange with the local WA Health Public Health Unit for document translation
