How the Pre-school Allocates Places
Where more applications are received than places available then the following order is used to allocate places:
1. Children currently enrolled in the 3 year old Pre-school program that the teachers have approved to repeat 3 year old Pre-school.
2. A sibling currently enrolled at Bonbeach Pre-school or Primary School.
3. Children residing in Bonbeach, within a 2km radius*.
4. All other applications received by 29th June 2018.
5. Applications received after 29th June 2018, in date of receipt order.
The above priority is also used to form the waiting list if one is required.
*Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with the changes to the Central Enrolment Scheme for 4 year old Pre-school as these may affect which Pre-school your child is likely to get allocated to the year they attend 4 year old Pre-school.

Letters of Offer
First round letters of offer will be sent out in July/August 2018, these letters will tell you how to accept a place in our 3 year old Pre-school program. It is important that you let the Pre-school know if your address changes or if you no longer require a place so we can offer the place to other families.
