Choosing a school for your child /children is a really important decision; having faith in the school environment you choose for your child is a critical part of the home – school partnership.

You’re very welcome to come for a tour and to have a chat with us about how we can support your child / children in their academic and their interpersonal development.

We have developed a Virtual School Tour and we invite you to contact the school to arrange an enrolment tour and conversation with the School Principal.

We have a four-visit program in Term 4 each year which supports our new students of all ages (and their mums and dads!) to learn about Exford and to feel confident about starting school.  We start with a Play Date before the Transition Program begins, just to start our Preps on their way!

We aim for all children to meet their next year’s teacher and to develop a group of friends. We hold information sessions for parents and help you with organising for the school start.

We invite you to contact the school Office to arrange a school tour.

We are beginning to plan for our 2025 school program and ask families planning on coming to Exford PS to contact us as soon as possible so that we can include them in our planning.  We also need accurate student numbers in order to provide the correct number of classes, teachers and classrooms for 2025 and beyond.

We would like to include your children in our Transition Program in Term 4, which we can only offer to enrolled children. We hold a four visit program for our Preps, with parent information sessions held at the same time.

We also hold a four visit program for our Year 1-6 new students, where the children are welcome to spend four days in our classrooms to help them make friends and settle in, ready for their start at Exford PS.

We look forward to welcoming new children and families into our school community.
