What happens if I fill out and submit a registration form?

The Registrar will input the data and acknowledge receipt, providing information about when your child is eligible to start at The Rowans and offering dates for a tour of the school. If the start date is imminent, you will receive an invitation for your child to attend an observed play session (for Kindergarten and Reception) or an assessment session (for Years 1 and 2) with us.

If a child is offered a kindergarten place, do they stay through to Reception without having to attend the Observed Play Session?

Yes, when we offer a place in Kindergarten it is with the understanding that the child will remain at The Rowans until the end of Year 2. Therefore, children transitioning from Kindergarten to Reception do not undertake any additional assessments.
