Enrolling at St Thomas More

Once your enrolment application is lodged an enrolment interview will be organised with the Principal. This interview gives us the opportunity to get to know prospective students (and their parents) a little better as well as answer any questions you may have about our school. Enrolment interviews will be held in June for Prep families and throughout the year for other students. Offers of enrolment are made following the enrolment interview.

​

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our STM Family!

Prep Transition Information

The Prep Transition Program at STM is designed to give your child the very best start to their Prep year.

​

Kindergarten Visit

A member of our Prep Team will visit students at kindergarten for an opportunity to interact with them in an environment in which they feel safe and comfortable. 

 

Orientation Mornings

In November we begin our orientation sessions when students have the opportunity to visit STM, meet their future classmates and get to know the staff who may be working with them once they begin school.

 

Information Evening 

We invite parents to attend a Prep Information Evening where you will meet our Prep teachers and find out more about your child's first year at school.

 

Orientation Morning with 2023 Class Teacher

At your child’s final orientation session, they will spend the morning in their classroom with their Prep teacher and new classmates.

 

Play in the Park

In January, the Parents Association hold an informal play date at a local park so that both children and parents can connect, support each other and plan to meet up again before starting school.

​

Please get in touch with any questions that you may have. All the very best as you make this important decision regarding primary school education for your family.

Prep Buddies

Every new Prep child receives a Year 5 Buddy in their first few weeks at school. At St Thomas More we use our Buddy program as a way to ensure every one of our new students feels safe, special, valued and connected. Throughout the year, buddy classes regularly get together to enjoy a range of fun learning activities to help students build strong, positive relationships. 

 

The aims of the Buddy Program are to:

  • Ease the transition into Primary School for our Prep children by providing them with a safe, reliable and positive Buddy.

  • Foster a strong sense of belonging for students across the school.

  • Build student’s self-esteem, social skills and sense of community.

  • Develop leadership skills amongst the Year 5 students.

  • Teach students the value of caring for others, including others and responsibility.

  • Further enhance a culture of respect for one another.

Buddy Program for New Families

Every new family to STM is appointed a Buddy Family. This is a wonderful Parents’ Association initiative and assists new families in settling into our community.

Buddy Program for Families

A Buddy Family is a current family with a child in the same grade as the new family who can act as a resource for the new family as they get settled into school. Starting at a new school can be scary for students but also for parents. New parents can feel nervous about leaving their child in a new place, with new people, and even the most comfortable parents may find themselves with questions. Having a Buddy Family as a point of contact, even before school starts, gives our new families someone to ask or to turn to when they are seeking advice.

Uniform

At St Thomas More we believe a school uniform is important to promote a sense of belonging and pride in our school. We also believe it is extremely important for all students to feel comfortable in their uniform and for families to have a degree of choice about what uniform pieces will work best for their child. 

 

While children are expected to wear their school uniform with pride, options are available for boys and girls for each season of the year:

 

Summer Uniform

  • Navy shorts and light blue short sleeved shirt or Summer dress

  • Navy socks

  • Black leather shoes

  • Navy school hat (Term 1 & 4)

  • Maroon jumper 

 

Winter Uniform

  • Navy pants or shorts with short or long sleeved shirt, or Winter tunic

  • Navy socks or tights

  • Black leather shoes

  • Maroon jumper

  • Navy rain jacket (outside wear)

 

Sport Uniform

  • Navy sports shorts, skort or tracksuit pants

  • Sports polo shirt (long or short sleeved)

  • School rugby top

  • Navy or white socks
