Eligibility….

Refer to MIKA’s Eligibility Criteria for more information on eligibility for enrolment at Tarralla Kindergarten.

The Victorian Government has recently amended the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008. The amendments mean that early childhood education and care services cannot confirm enrolment of a child unless the parent/guardian has provided:

• a current Immunisation History Statement from the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR);

AND

• the statement must show that the child is up to date with all vaccinations that are due for their age, or that they are able to receive.

For more information refer to the BetterHealth No Jab, No Play page.

Placement….

Refer to MIKA’s Placement Criteria for more information on the allocation of placements at Tarralla Kindergarten in the event more applications than places are received.

Enrolment Period….

Enrolments for Tarralla Kindergarten are taken the year before the child is due to attend kindergarten.

Enrolments open at the beginning of March each year and close at the end of June, for attendance the following year.

Enrolments received after the closing date will be placed in the order of receipt after all on time applicants are placed, subject to availability of places.  Enrolments are not accepted prior to this enrolment period.
