Choosing a Primary School Your child will usually go to the primary school closest to where your family lives, if they are attending a government school. You can choose to send your child to a different government primary school if they have places available, or to a Catholic or independent school. To make your child’s transition from kindergarten to primary school a happy and positive experience, it is important to consider which school will best benefit your child’s learning and development. Keep in mind that some primary schools need to restrict their enrolments – and the number of students they can take – to a particular area or zone around the school. Things to consider When choosing a primary school for your child, you will need to think about your family circumstances and needs. For example: How far do you want to travel and is the school reasonably close to home and/or work? Will the school be able to cater for your child’s needs and interests? What facilities do they offer and are you comfortable with the ‘feel’ of the school? Will the teachers and the school curriculum support all aspects of your child’s development, including social, emotional, physical and cognitive needs? Does the school’s policy on homework and discipline reflect your own values and expectations? Does the school work in partnership with families?
