Reception Intakes at Emmaus Catholic School
Emmaus Catholic School extends a warm invitation to new Reception students twice a year, offering a transition program to facilitate their smooth integration into our vibrant school community.
Term One Reception Enrolment
Children who will turn 5 years of age on or before April 30 are eligible to commence school at the beginning of the year, in Term 1.
Term Three Reception Enrolment
For children turning 5 before October 31, Emmaus Catholic School offers a mid-year intake, starting in Term 3.
Please note, children who turn 5 years of age after October 31 will commence Reception at the beginning of the following year. Those commencing in Term 3 will have a minimum of 6 terms in Reception.
Determining Your Child's Start Date
In South Australia, most children begin primary school the year they turn 5 or 6 years old. Use our Enrolment Calculator to determine your child's school start date based on their date of birth.
Our Little Learners program is an extended transition program for four year olds, designed to assist students transitioning to reception at Emmaus.
