Cohort Entry

We are a school that has introduced 'cohort entry'.
This means 5 year old children starting school,  start school in small groups  rather than just on their 5th birthday.
We have done this because we believe that it is better overall for teaching and learning.

These are out cohort dates in 2025:
July 14th
August 18th

October 6th
November 10th

When should I enrol for Turuturu School? If your child is commencing school for the first time, it is best to  enrol as early as possible. 

Do I need an appointment or can I just ‘turn up’?  A talk with the principal, Richard,  is  important.
Phone the Office,  278 2200, to arrange a time which is mutually convenient.  By making an appointment, time is specifically put aside for you and your child.  

What do I need to bring?  Your child’s birth certificate or their passport to verify their date of birth and the immunisation record.  We take a photocopy of this key information.
You may be asked to prove your address.

What happens when enrolling?  We visit the classroom your child will be in and if possible meet the teacher.  We take a tour of the school and show you anything and everything you want. Just because we are enrolling a new 5 year old fresh to school, doesn't mean you won't want to see a Year 6 class hard at work. You can compete the enrolment form at school or take it way and bring it back later.

How much time does enrolling take? 
Usually 20 –30 minutes. 

What does the school also need to know:

Key contact information.

Your address.

Parent / Caregiver details.

Your child’s interests .

Emergency contacts.

Medical Information.

Very Important...If your child has a medical condition, disability, learning disorder etc, it is the family’s responsibility to ensure this and its implications are discussed and outlined so the school is informed and knowledgeable.

If we are to provide the best of care and education for your child, we do need to know.  Your child is welcome at Turuturu, all information is treated in confidence. 

Children cannot start school before their fifth birthday.  However, all children nearing their enrolment date are encouraged to make visits with their parents to the school and their new classroom.
