Starting Kindergarten in 2027

We are a dedicated community that prepares and inspires learners to be their best for themselves, each other and the world.

We very much look forward to your child joining Beauty Point Public School.

Starting school is an extremely important step for both you and your child.

Below you will find information regarding our upcoming tours, enrolment and orientation.

The Starting School page of the Department of Education website also provides guidelines to assist you in preparing for school.

Once you have made this important decision, it is our goal at Beauty Point Public School to ensure that your child feels happy and safe from his or her very first day. To achieve this goal, we have implemented an extensive information and orientation program, an ongoing buddy system, and a welcoming approach to your child's first day of school.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask us - our contact details are at the bottom of this page.

Orientation Mornings

Tuesday 3 November and Wednesday 4 November 2026 - 9:15am-10:15am

Kindergarten Orientation days are a great way for kids to experience a brief but engaging and fun session at school. It is a small taster of what classroom life will be like in the coming year.

We ask that all future Kindergarten 2027 students attend both orientation sessions.

While your child is attending these sessions, parents are invited to an information session each morning from 9.15-10.15am with the school executive staff. Our teachers will discuss how you can support your child's literacy and numeracy development and give helpful hints about starting school.

Best Start Assessment

The Best Start Kindergarten Assessment will take place at our school during your child’s first week.

Best Start is a state-wide assessment that helps inform teachers about the literacy and numeracy skills of each student at the beginning of kindergarten. Children come to school with a range of experiences, skills and abilities. Some are familiar with books, can recognise letters of the alphabet or even write their name or count to ten, while others have not yet learned these skills. The Best Start Kindergarten Assessment provides teachers with the opportunity to sit with a child one on one for about 50min, focusing on what that child can do. The assessment is not a test but provides teachers with useful information to help support your child’s learning at school.

You can read more about the assessment here.
