ELC, Term 3 Week 8 2026

A big thank you to all the families who took the time to join us for learning conferences last week. It was wonderful to welcome so many of you into our learning spaces, and we truly appreciated the depth of engagement and the rich, thoughtful conversations about your children and their learning journeys. These discussions are such a valuable part of our partnership with families, and we’re grateful for the care and interest you bring to your child’s education.

We have now commenced enrolment interviews for children starting ELC in 2027 and 2028. Please note that an application for each child in your family is required through the school’s website. This can be found at: https://www.pulteney.sa.edu.au/enrolment-and-applications/
