The 2023 Enrolment Process:
As we are located on the border of Port Phillip Council and Glen Eira council, we welcome enrolments from both municipalities, as well as enrolments from further afield. Everyone is welcome at Ripponlea Kindergarten!
First-round offers are sent out via email around June of the previous year to families on the waiting list. Successful applicants will be notified of a confirmed place. Second-Round Offers are sent out in August after we receive details from Glen Eira Council.
To enrol...
- From 1st of May 2022, all three- and four-year-old registrations for kindergarten within the Glen Eira municipality will be managed centrally by Glen Eira Council.
- All children planning to attend Ripponlea Kinder in 2023 must be registered with Glen Eira council to receive an enrolment offer, even if the child is already attending the service in 2022.
- Online registrations are therefore open currently for three and four year old kindergarten via Glen Eira City Council.
- You will be asked to prioritise your first three choices for kinder places. Select Ripponlea Kinder as your first preference.
- Preferences are allocated based on date of receipt of registration.
- Reminders will be sent during May and June, to everyone who has already joined our waiting list for 2023.
- Please also complete an expression of interest form for our planning purposes.
