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 interviews will be scheduled during Terms 2 & 3. Interviews can also be arranged for children enrolling later in the year.
We start our Pre-prep Transition Program in Term 3.
Story Time Sessions. Children are welcome to join us to 'Step into Prep' attend our Story Time 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.

Workshops in Term 4. Families are encouraged to participate in these events to build relationships with our staff, get to know our school better and be confident about starting Prep.

Families are expected to attend all three.

FAQ- What to expect at a Prep enrolment interview
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. The exact dates will be determined by IOSHC.
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.
