Enrolment Procedures

If you are interested in enrolling your child at Salisbury Park, please visit our school, speak to the front office manager and do the following:

Stage One

Pick up an enrolment pack which outlines the curriculum, various policies and procedures and a Registration of Interest to Enrol form for you to fill out. This is then passed on to the Principal.

Stage Two  

The Principal will then contact you to set up a Pre-enrolment meeting so that you can take a tour of the school and raise any questions or queries. This time is also available for the Principal to raise any questions or concerns he may have before enrolling your child. Remember, honesty is the best policy here for all parties concerned. It is better for you and your child to be honest about any learning or behaviour needs at this meeting as it will help you and your child to settle in with the best level of support possible.

Stage Three  

Once all queries and concerns have been discussed and both parties are happy then parents will be given a Student Enrolment form from the Principal. Student Enrolment Forms can only be given by the Principal once stage one and stage two have been satisfied.

Stage Four

Parents complete and leave the form with the school, organise school uniforms etc. and then the child will begin in their designated class two days after enrolment form has been received. This allows the Principal to speak with the classroom teacher about organising desk space, locker, student log ins, books etc. so that their transition to school is a smooth one.

Planning, staffing, accommodation and general school organisation is greatly assisted if children are enrolled as soon as they turn 4. The Salisbury Park Kindergarten (across the road) does not automatically enrol your child at this school, but we work closely with the Centre to provide a Transition program, as well as cross age tutoring, and sharing of our resources.

 What your child can learn and how it is taught?

Student learning is at the heart of everything we do. This is underpinned by our commitment to the following principles:

• A constant focus on State and National quality and standards
• Equity and access for all students
• Accountability 
• Partnerships

The Australian Curriculum guides the curriculum offered at Salisbury Park Primary School and includes the following 8 areas of learning.

• English
• Mathematics
• Technologies
• Science
• Humanities and Social Sciences
• The Arts
• Health and Physical Education
• Languages

We are also in the process of applying for a number of grants in Environmental Education and Youth Development Programs. We are also in the process of establishing significant curriculum links with our feeder high schools.

The Jacaranda Unit is the name that we give to our unit that supports our students with a range of disabilities. The Jacaranda unit is situated within Salisbury Park Primary School and promotes strong links and opportunities for interaction, understanding and friendships between children from the unit and the mainstream school through whole school activities such as assembly, Sports Days and Student Voice. The Jacaranda Unit caters for 32 children with a range of physical, intellectual and developmental disabilities including severe and multiple disabilities in the Northern Suburbs of Adelaide.

Enrolment in the unit is handled through a Department for Education (DfE) district process and requires recommendation by DfE psychologists. Salisbury Park Primary School does not have the authority to enrol students in the Jacaranda unit as there are a number of outside assessments that need to have occurred before limited places are offered to parents.

Curriculum:

The Jacaranda Unit offers an integrated and individualised curriculum that is responsive to the needs of each child. Use of assistive technologies enables every learner to access a rich and balanced curriculum, and staff work with support agencies such as Novita Children’s Services, Autism SA, Disabilities SA, Kilparrin (for children with sensory impairments), to ensure learning opportunities and programs attain the best outcomes for each child.

The Jacaranda Unit has a strong focus on the use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication, and provides a sensory and play-based curriculum that develops communication, literacy, numeracy and scientific understandings, as well as more formal literacy and numeracy programs which are aligned with site and district targets. Each child participates in weekly swimming and cooking programs.

Each child has a One Plan developed in collaboration with families and other support agencies.

We have strong links with our mainstream classes, and development of understanding and friendships between children is supported by many and varied buddy class activities, reading programs and interaction in mainstream classes, as well as shared play at lunch and recess times in our large and secure outside play area.

Facilities:

• Fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities
• Large and secure outdoor area including sensory garden
• Tablet and Interactive Whiteboard Technologies in every class
• Sensory withdrawal and Active Learning Room designed to promote visual, tactile and auditory awareness and concept development
• Sunshine Coach to support a range of excursions and community access opportunities.
