Mid-Year Reception Intake is available to girls who turn five before 31 October.

A mid-year start will allow your daughter to undertake six terms of Reception, providing an optimal start to her schooling experience. This early transition helps ensure a smoother adjustment and a more confident beginning to school life.

Our specially designed Reception programs provide girls with learning experiences that expand thinking and spark curiosity. Along with the classroom teacher, girls will have specialist teachers for Science, Music, Physical Education, Library, and Chinese.

With a focus on developing strong, passionate, and confident girls, our Social, Emotional and Academic Development (SEAD) Program encourages Reception girls to understand themselves as learners, develop the skills of friendship as well as grow in resilience and independence.

In addition, various co-curricular activities are offered, allowing girls to broaden their interests. These include: Code Club, Chess, Junior Choir, Instrumental Tuition, and a range of sporting programs.
