How enrolment works

Places are limited, so every child starts by registering their interest. Register, complete a short assessment, and once enrolment is confirmed you’ll add your details and pay the enrolment fee to secure the place.

  1. Register your interest

    Fill in the short form to register your child. There is no fee at this stage.

  2. Assessment

    We email you to confirm enrolment or invite you to a face-to-face assessment.

  3. Enrolment confirmed

    Once the assessment is complete, we confirm your child’s enrolment.

  4. Add your details

    You receive a link to complete the registration form with your child’s details.

  5. Payment

    Pay the enrolment fee through the link, which secures your child’s place.

The essentials, up front

Everything a parent usually asks first — when we run, how long, who it’s for, and what it costs.

A partnership between home and school

Your child learns best when home and school pull the same way. Here’s how we can do that together.

  • Drop your child off and collect them on time — our staff move directly into the next session.
  • Read our emails and WhatsApp messages, and act on what we send.
  • Send your child with pencils, a sharpener and an eraser.
  • Pack a snack — we don’t provide food, though teachers do sometimes hand out a chocolate or two.
  • Expect a 5–10 minute break between classes.
  • If your child is given a book, check for it at every drop-off and pick-up.
  • If a concern about behaviour comes up, we may ask to have a quick word with you.

Events

  • Term 4 Open Day

    Visit classes, meet teachers and enrol for next year.

  • Arabic Spelling Competition

    Students compete across age groups for prizes.

  • End of Year Celebration

    Performances, certificates and a family picnic.

Talk to the school

Before you enrol

Not at all. Our Beginner level starts from the very beginning — the sounds each letter makes and how they build into words. Plenty of our children arrive with no Arabic at all, and that’s exactly who Beginner is for.

Placement goes by what your child can do, not their age. A nine-year-old who is new to reading Arabic would usually begin at Beginner, and we confirm the right fit once you’ve enrolled — no child is left in a class that moves too fast or too slow for them.

No. Classes follow the four NSW school terms, so we don’t run during the school holidays — the next term picks up when NSW schools go back.

We’re still confirming our current position on sibling discounts. Please ask us when you enrol and we’ll give you a clear answer.

If you need to skip a term, talk to us and we’ll let you know how coming back and re-enrolling works. We’re finalising the details of this.

We’re confirming our policy on parents sitting in on classes. Please check with us when you enrol.

Just let the class teacher know at drop-off, so they know to expect you and can have your child ready to go. It helps to mention it early, since staff move straight into the next session at the end of class.
