INTERVIEWING NOW FOR PREP 2027
The Preparatory Year (Prep) became the first year of compulsory schooling in 2017. Unless certain circumstances apply, schools will not enrol a child in Year 1 until that child has completed the Prep year.
To be eligible for admission to Prep, children are required to be 5 years of age by June 30 in the year they commence Prep. Principals have the discretion to extend this by one month in certain circumstances. Enrolment in, and full-time attendance at, Prep fulfils the legal obligation of enrolment where a student is of compulsory school age.

Our school St Therese’s sits on sacred land which holds connection to our ancestors and their histories. We respect, honour and embrace all cultures across this land that we work, pray, learn and grow on.
St Therese’s respects our Traditional Owners of this land, the Gimuy Walubarra Yidinji and Yirrganydji people, who hold the knowledge of these lands and waterways. We pay respects to their elders and all elders past, present and emerging. We journey together inspired by Christ embracing faith, life and learning.
