First step is to contact the school office and express your interest. We will then discuss the easy process with you. Some families like to do lots of research, others know us well enough that they simply want to formalise the enrolment. Wherever you are on your enrolment journey, we are ready to help.

At St Albert’s we foster a close relationship with the local kindergarten, getting to know the children prior to commencing school. Our Reception teachers visit the local preschool to meet prospective new students and see them in their familiar environment.

In the term prior to starting school, all new Reception children are invited to join our Transition to School programme. This programme includes multiple visits to our school, gradually increasing in duration. These sessions help children become comfortable with the school environment, routines, and their peers. Our Transition programme’s aim is to ensure a smooth and successful transition for your child into school life.

You do not need to live in Loxton to enrol, in fact a large percentage of our students live out of Loxton and catch a bus to school. We warmly welcome families from all areas.
