Byford Primary School is now taking enrolment applications for students entering Kindergarten and Pre-primary in 2023. Both Byford Primary School and Byford Community Kindergarten will be offering a Kindergarten program in 2023. When completing an application to enrol for Kindergarten, parents will be asked to nominate which program they wish to apply for. 

Your child can only enrol in one of these programs.

Children born between July 1 2018 & June 30 2019 are eligible to apply for Public School Kindergarten.

Children born between July 1 2017 & June 30 2018 are eligible to apply for Public School Pre-primary.

 When making an application for enrolment, please provide a copy of;

• Your child’s birth certificate
• Passport and Visa Grant Notice (if born overseas)
• Proof of residential address (e.g. utility bill, lease agreement);
• AIR Immunisation History Statement (that is not more than 2 months old), and
• Family Court Orders (if applicable)

Students in Pre-primary in 2022 will automatically roll over into Year 1 in 2023 and beyond. If your child will not be returning to Byford Primary School in 2023, please notify the School Office.

It should be noted that an application does not confirm placement for any child – selection criteria may apply. Application details will be used to assist the school in organising classes and placements for next year. Parents of children who are offered placement at Byford Primary School will be asked to complete formal enrolment details at that time. Unsuccessful applicants will be offered a place in a school as close to their residential location as possible or be referred to their local school in the case of Pre Primary students.

Applications required by Friday 22nd July 2022.

All applicants will be advised of their child’s placement during Term 3 this year. Enrolment applications can be made through the school office between the hours of 9.30am to 2:30pm.

HASS

In Room 13 we have been learning about ‘Life in Colonial Times’. We learned about the impact that European settlement has had on Indigenous Australians and our native Flora and Fauna. We have examined the effects land clearing, farming, logging and introduced species have had on the environment. We also learned about diets, clothing, housing, work, and children's lives in early colonial life as well as the colonial history timeline from 1788 to 1863.

Health

Our focus on Health has been how we Relate, Respect and Connect to each other. We looked at our identity and explored our Values, Beliefs and Behaviours and how they impact our identity. From this we made Identity Faces and ‘All About Me’ hoodie design on our brag book. We explored the influences that our family and friends have on our lives which was reinforced with the Life Ed Van Incursion. In Life Ed Van we learned about how to Relate, Respect and Connect each other online and in real life.

A ‘No Hat, Limited Outside Play’ policy is enforced at Byford Primary School all year.  Parents can assist us by reinforcing the need for protection from the sun by ensuring that students have a wide brim hat. Hats can be purchased through the school uniform shop next to Room 3.  Students who do not have a hat are instructed to play under sheltered areas such as the Undercover Area near the canteen. Caps are not acceptable as they do not provide adequate protection to the ears and back of the neck from the sun.
