Enrolment

We always look forward to welcoming new students and their families into our school community at Arthurs Creek. We are currently taking enrolments for 2026 and beyond.

We are proud of our small school and recognise the benefits that come from teachers knowing our students and families well. It is through ongoing, strong links between home and school that we are able to provide the best support for every student in all areas of their academic, social, emotional and physical life.

School Tours

Interested in enrolling? We encourage prospective families to book a tour of our beautiful school. Our principal, Andrew Lamers, will walk you through the school and chat to you about your child's needs. Tours can be arranged at any time by contacting our school office.

Transition to School Program
Prior to Foundation (Prep), new students will be invited to participate in our transition program held over several sessions in November and early December of each year. This gives our incoming students get a taste of school life, gives the teachers a chance to meet and get to know each student and to talk with families about the learning needs of their child.
