Enrolment policy

The administration of the Enrolment Policy is the responsibility of the School Board.
TCCS is a ministry primarily to children from committed Christian families in order to support the parents in the education of their children.
The Board also makes some places available for families who are supportive of the policies of the School and wish their children to be taught Christian principles and values, but who are not affiliated with a church. The School’s desire in enrolling such families is that through normal School activities, the children and their families will choose to make Jesus Christ their Lord and Saviour.
It is essential that all families who have their children enrolled are supportive of the ethos and policies of the School
The Board’s expectation of a practising Christian family is one which:

• Recognises and testifies to the Lordship of Jesus Christ
• Has a commitment to model and teach Biblical principles in the home
• Is actively involved in the ministries of a local Christian Church and regularly attends worship services.

Minimum starting age

The child must turn 5 years of age on or before 30th April in their Kindergarten year. This may be varied if the child has had specialist assessment which recommends that the child commence school at an earlier age. It may also be varied if there are other special circumstances.

Enrolment procedures

All prospective enrolments are subject to an enrolment interview. Families who wish to enrol their children need to fill out an Application Form. Potential students will be interviewed with their parents prior to enrolment. Places will be offered on the basis of the interview and the application.

Applications will be prioritised according to the following criteria:

1. Committed Christian families who are members of The Coast Community Church
2. Other families

The Principal and a Board Member will approve all enrolments.

Conditions of enrolment

Parents are required to sign and support the Conditions of Enrolment as outlined in the Enrolment Application. The School reserves the right to add to and amend these conditions of enrolment from time to time as they see fit. All applications for enrolment will be considered in the light of the capability of the School to provide an adequate education program for the special needs of particular students.

Enrolment bond

When a new student is offered a position at the School, an enrolment bond will be required to secure the position which is refundable at the end of the student’s schooling provided all accounts have been settled and relevant material returned.

Waiting list

Where there is no position available in a particular grade, the applicant’s name can be added to the Waiting List. The Waiting List is prioritised according to the same criteria as for applications.

Exit procedures

Where a student is to be withdrawn from the School, parents must notify in writing their intention with one full School term’s notice. Where this notice is not given, the School reserves the right to charge one term’s fees. All books and equipment are to be returned to the School before the Enrolment Bond can be returned.
