Apply for Enrolment
We thank you for considering Golden Grove Lutheran Primary for your child’s learning journey.
Choosing a school for your children is one of the biggest decisions you will make, and is both challenging and exciting! There are many things to consider such as ‘Will the school cater to my child’s needs and interests?’, ‘Will the curriculum support my child’s development?’ and ‘Does the school values reflect my own values and expectations?’.
At Golden Grove, we believe that learning should be enjoyable, engaging and authentic. We are focused on developing strengths, passions and skills in our students and a warm sense of community for our school families where each student and family is known and valued individually.
Applications can be submitted at any time for any year level from Foundation (Reception) to Year 6. Due to the high number of enrolment enquiries received, we recommend submitting your Enrolment Application at least two – three years prior to your child’s commencement at school.
We look forward to welcoming you to Golden Grove Lutheran Primary School soon!
Enrolling your child at Golden Grove Lutheran Primary School is a warm journey with a sense of welcome.
