Give your child a great start with mid-year intake

Is your child turning 5 before October 2024? Enrolling in the mid-year intake at a Catholic school could be the perfect choice.

Take the opportunity to tour your local Diocesan school and discover the benefits of the 2024 Term 3 Reception intake. Reception students who join a 2024 mid-year intake at a Diocesan Catholic school get free tuition in Terms 3 and 4.

“This decision is part of our continued response as we seek to support families at a time when they are being financially impacted by the effects of rising living costs and inflation. The free mid-year Reception initiative has been extremely popular in previous years, so we are delighted to be offering it again in 2024.” says Dr Neil McGoran, Executive Director, Catholic Education South Australia.

With over 1,400 reception students starting in SA Catholic schools last July, mid-year intake continues to grow in popularity. “The mid-year Reception intake is designed to support your child’s growth and ensure a smooth transition to school,” says Julia Nofi, a Reception Teacher at Dominican School, Semaphore.

Through personalised attention to each child’s needs and building strong connections with families, your child will feel supported, allowing them to concentrate on exploring their love for learning and to feel a sense of belonging.

Don’t miss this opportunity to give your child a great start in their educational journey and watch your child thrive in a nurturing and supportive environment.

How outdoor experiences fuel child development

There’s a kind of learning that can’t be replicated inside four walls. You see it when a child pauses to pocket a rock, float leaves in a puddle, or follow the path of a butterfly. These moments aren’t diversions from learning. They’re learning at its most authentic. For children in their foundational years—from infancy to primary—outdoor learning and play isn’t just valuable; it’s essential.
