All children enrolling in Kindergarten must be fully immunised, as per WA Government requirements.

Please visit our Kindergarten page for specific information about how the Kindergarten operates.
Under Western Australian Government regulations, dependants of overseas students have a lower enrolment priority than Australian citizens, permanent residents, and certain temporary residents.
Dependants of international Master's and PhD students may enrol in public schools; however, placement at the nearest local school is not guaranteed, particularly in areas of high demand.
Overseas fee-paying students may only be accepted at the discretion of the school principal, subject to available classroom space and suitable educational programs.
Please note that Kindergarten is non-compulsory, and placements at this level lower priority for TIWA compared to compulsory year levels.
