Prep 2027 is for children born between 1 July 2021 and 30 June 2022. If your family resides within our catchment area or there is an older sibling who will still be attending ISS in 2027 you are welcome to download our Enrolment Pack. The pack contains the necessary forms to complete and a checklist of required documents. Please refer to the Enrolments tab of our website for comprehensive details.
Applications can be submitted via email to admin@indooroopillyss.eq.edu.au or delivered in person to our administration office, Monday - Friday, 8:00am - 3:30pm, during school terms.
Enrolment meetings are available in Terms 2 & 3. These personalised 1:1 meetings with each future Prep student and their parents are arranged after a completed Enrolment Pack is processed.
We start our Pre-prep Transition Program in Term 3.
Children are welcome to join us to 'Step into Prep' attend our transition sessions to become familiar with the school environment and make new friends. They are a valuable opportunity for parents to meet other Prep families. These sessions are short and informal and are not compulsory. Members of our teaching team will read stories and conduct a small activity to accompany it.
Bookings details are emailed to parents of enrolled students.
- 9:45 - 10:30am Wednesday 5 August - Story Time 1
- 9:45 - 10:30am Wednesday 26 August - Stay and Play

Workshops in Term 4. Families are expected to attend all three sessions. Participation builds relationships with our staff and allows families to get to know our school better and be confident about their child starting Prep. Children will explore our Prep classrooms, meet teachers and peers and complete activities while parents join workshops focused on literacy, motor shills, and social-emotional development.
Booking details will be emailed to parents of enrolled students.
- Workshop 1: Friday 16 or Saturday 17 October
- Workshop 2: Friday 30 October or Saturday 31 October

The Prep Orientation Morning will start in the School Hall at 9:15am on Wednesday 25th November. Please save the date to ensure your child can attend. Children will meet the class teacher and teacher aide in their classroom and participate in a range of activities. Parents will receive information about Prep routines and requirements. The Uniform Shop will be open for purchases and collection of online orders.
Prep 2026 starts on Wednesday 27 January. Please plan any family holidays within the school holiday period. Every day counts in Prep!
FAQ- What to expect at a Prep enrolment meeting
We meet all our prospective families at an enrolment interview and for families new to ISS this is the first face-to-face meeting. We take the opportunity to explain what Prep is like at ISS and how the school operates, finalise paperwork, take on board any relevant information parents share, answer your questions and most importantly, establish a relationship with your child.
FAQ Outside School Hours Care
Arrangements for Outside School Hours Care are a separate process to school enrolment. Indooroopilly Outside School Hours Care operates an independent service. If you wish to participate in the EOI for IOSHC 2027 places you must submit your school enrolment application first.
There will only be a brief period of time that EOI will be accepted: 7th September 2026 at 7am until 13th September 2026 at 11:59pm.
If you enrol after the EOI closes you can add your student to the IOSHC waitlist for 2027 places.
Please refer to IOSHC website for full information.
