GET READY FOR PREP
Do you have a child starting Prep in 2026, or know someone who does?
Join us for our “Get Set for Prep” afternoon on Friday 20 June 2025, from 2:00 – 2:45pm. This is a fantastic opportunity for families to visit our Prep classrooms and experience what Prep at Tingalpa is all about.
For in-catchment families enrolling in the English Program, enrolment packs will be available for collection on the day. Please bring:
- Your child’s original birth certificate
- Two forms of proof of residency (e.g. a current rates notice or tenancy agreement, and a utility bill)
French Bilingual Program:
Places will be offered from early Term 3. Please note this invitation does not confirm enrolment.
Out-of-Catchment Families:
If you are outside the catchment and have no siblings currently enrolled at Tingalpa State School, offers will be made in Term 4, pending availability.
Parking Reminder:
Parking around the school is limited. We recommend parking across the road at Kianawah Park and using the pedestrian crossing. Please do not park at Twin Parks Shopping Village.
To finish off the afternoon, children can purchase a $1 water ice block—a senior student fundraising activity in support of Year 6 graduation.
