Welcome to<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Peninsula</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Peninsula</strong> <strong>School</strong> is an open-entry coeducational <strong>School</strong> from 3YO Kinder through to Year 12.<br />

Our student body currently comprises over 1440 students.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>School</strong> is divided into a series of sub-schools, comprising:<br />

• <strong>The</strong> Early Childhood Centre – 3YO Kinder to Grade 1<br />

• Junior <strong>School</strong> – Grades 2-6<br />

• Middle <strong>School</strong> – Years 7-8<br />

• Pre-Senior – Year 9<br />

• Senior <strong>School</strong> – Year 10-12<br />

At present, our maximum class sizes are:<br />

• 3YO Kindergarten: 15 students per class<br />

• 4YO Kindergarten: 22 students per class<br />

• Prep: 23 students per class<br />

• Grade 1: 24 students per class<br />

• Grades 2- 6: 25 students per class<br />

• Years 7-10: 26 students/class<br />

• Years 11 & 12: approximately 25 students/class, but typically 15-25 students depending upon<br />

students’ subject choices.<br />

We operate two classes per year level up to Grade 5, when we add two additional classes. In Year<br />

7 we add another two classes, bringing that year level to six classes. This continues through to Year<br />

10. We add approximately 14 new students at Year 11.<br />

Our principal student intake years are Kinder, Grade 5, Year 7 and Year 11 but places may be offered<br />

at other year levels where vacancies arise.<br />

Age of enrolment<br />

For entry into our 3YO Kindergarten program, children must have turned three by the 1st of January<br />

of the proposed commencement year. We do not offer mid-year enrolment for students who turn<br />

three during the year.<br />

For entry into Prep, children must have turned five by the 30th of April of the proposed<br />

commencement year.<br />

Students more than one year younger or older than the average age of other students in a particular<br />

year level will generally not be admitted to that year level.


<strong>Enrolment</strong> at<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Peninsula</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />

<strong>Enrolment</strong> process<br />

Step One<br />

Initial contact with the <strong>School</strong><br />

Enquiries are welcomed by our Admissions staff.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>School</strong> publishes a Prospectus, which contains valuable<br />

information on the <strong>School</strong>’s programs, facilities and educational<br />

values, as well as information on our fees. <strong>The</strong> Prospectus also<br />

includes an <strong>Application</strong> to Register for <strong>Enrolment</strong>.<br />

We hold two Open Days each year, the first in February and then<br />

in August. <strong>The</strong>se are an excellent opportunity to visit the <strong>School</strong><br />

during a typical <strong>School</strong> day, and meet with current students and<br />

staff. You are also welcome to arrange a personal tour of the<br />

<strong>School</strong> for your family if you wish. Children are very welcome to<br />

accompany you on a <strong>School</strong> tour.<br />

Our Admissions staff would be very happy to assist if you<br />

have any questions, or if you wish to receive a copy of our<br />

Prospectus or arrange a <strong>School</strong> tour. Please telephone 9788<br />

7753 or email enrolments@tps.vic.edu.au.<br />

Step Two<br />

Registration and waiting lists<br />

To apply for a place at the <strong>School</strong>, please complete and return a<br />

signed <strong>Application</strong> to Register for <strong>Enrolment</strong> form, together with<br />

your <strong>Enrolment</strong> Fee. This fee is $100 for one child, or $150 for<br />

two or more children registered at the same time.<br />

At this time, your child’s name will be registered on our waiting<br />

list for their relevant year of commencement.<br />

We encourage families to register for enrolment as early as<br />

possible, as places are limited. <strong>Application</strong>s usually exceed the<br />

number of available places and we have waiting lists across<br />

multiple year levels many years in advance.<br />

Please note that registration for enrolment in no way guarantees<br />

a place at the <strong>School</strong>.<br />

Priority placement on our waiting lists may be granted to<br />

students who:<br />

• have, or who have had, a sibling at this <strong>School</strong>;<br />

• are the sons or daughters, or grandsons or granddaughters,<br />

of a past student of this <strong>School</strong>; or<br />

• are transferring from another independent school of a similar<br />

calibre to this <strong>School</strong>.<br />

In most other cases, students will be registered on the basis<br />

of the date that we receive their <strong>Application</strong> to Register for<br />

<strong>Enrolment</strong>.<br />

Please be aware that the <strong>School</strong>’s waiting lists are not static<br />

and are subject to constant change. This may result from new<br />

prospective students registering for enrolment, or students<br />

transferring to one waiting list from another. Whilst we are<br />

happy to provide general advice as to the likelihood of your child<br />

being offered a place at the <strong>School</strong>, we are unable to provide<br />

specific information as to your child’s place on the waiting list.<br />

Step Three<br />

Confirming enrolment<br />

If a place becomes available at the relevant year level, we may<br />

invite you and your child for an interview with relevant <strong>School</strong><br />

staff. <strong>The</strong> purpose of this meeting is to familiarise staff with<br />

your child, to provide information about the <strong>School</strong> and our<br />

programs, and to determine whether we can meet your child’s<br />

needs. In some instances, we may make an offer without first<br />

interviewing a student.<br />

An invitation for an interview is no guarantee of a position at the<br />

<strong>School</strong>.<br />

If a place is available for your child, a letter of offer will be<br />

forwarded to you, together with enrolment documentation. To<br />

accept the offer, these documents must be completed, signed<br />

and returned to the <strong>School</strong>, and the applicable Entry Fee paid,<br />

by the date specified in our letter of offer. Upon receipt, we will<br />

confirm your child’s place.<br />

Change to preferred commencement<br />

year<br />

If the <strong>School</strong> is unable to offer your child a place, or if you<br />

decide to alter your child’s preferred year of commencement,<br />

your child’s application may be moved to another year’s waiting<br />

list. This may be a verbal or written request, and we will confirm<br />

the alteration in writing. Again, a change of this type is no<br />

guarantee of a place.<br />

Unless your child is entitled to priority placement on the<br />

alternative waiting list, his or her position on that waiting list will<br />

be determined by their original registration date, not the date of<br />

the change.

Family allowance<br />

If 3 or more siblings or step-siblings attend the <strong>School</strong>, we offer<br />

a Family Allowance on the following basis:<br />

• 3 children – 10% discount on tuition fees from the<br />

commencement of the third child at the <strong>School</strong>; and<br />

• 4 or more children – by arrangement with the Principal.<br />

In most circumstances, the allowance will be applied until the<br />

final student leaves the <strong>School</strong> or is amended at the Principal’s<br />

discretion.<br />

From the commencement of the third child, if any student within<br />

that family is receiving another form of concession that is:<br />

• greater than the Family Allowance, the Family Allowance will<br />

not apply in respect of that student; or<br />

• lesser than the Family Allowance, then the Family Allowance<br />

will apply in place of the original concession in respect of<br />

that student.<br />

Please contact us for the full terms and conditions that apply to<br />

the Family Allowance.

Students requesting a refund of fees must submit a written<br />

request to the <strong>School</strong>. Before applying for a refund of fees, all<br />

students must read the <strong>School</strong>’s Refund Policy.<br />

take further action under Australia’s consumer protection<br />

laws, and does not restrict the student’s right to pursue<br />

other legal remedies. <strong>The</strong> Education Services for Overseas<br />

Students Act 2000 and Education Services for Overseas<br />
