Primary school programs

In the year your child is four years old on 1 January, you can enrol them to start Kindergarten that year.

We have a handy guide with all you need to know about starting Kindergarten.

At selected schools, you can get extra help to support your child’s learning through the LIFT program.

Learning in Families Together

Acknowledgment of Country

We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional custodians of this land, and we pay respect to the elders past, present and future, for they hold the memories, traditions, culture and hope of First Nations people in Tasmania.
