Enrolment Update – Columba

It's only March, and we've already received a significant number of Prep enrolments for 2026. If you have a child at Columba and wish to enroll a sibling for Prep 2026, please do so as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

In line with the 2024/25 enrolment process, Columba will adhere to our established Prep enrolment procedures. This means all Prep enrolments will close on the King's Birthday weekend, Friday, June 6th. The enrolment selection process is detailed on our website: https://columbacpsbunyip.schoolzineplus.com/prep-transition

We are also delighted that many families are choosing Columba for their child's education, including mid-year enrolments. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate every enrolment request due to some classes reaching capacity.

Consequently, we have had to implement our waiting list management procedures. We are currently experiencing high demand for student places within our school community, and positions are limited. At present, we have waiting lists for:

  • Grade 1
  • Grade 3
  • Grade 4
  • Grade 5
  • Grade 6

We thank everyone for their continued support of our school.

Take care,

Andrew Greco

Principal

We discussed many items ranging from fund-raising initiatives, providing feedback from parents about the school, for example assemblies and the car park, school events such as Mothers' day and Fathers' day stalls and fun events for the kids like a school disco!
We have added a few dates to the date list below. Please mark these in your diary.
I thank all those parents for putting their hand up to support the school.
If you would like to participate in the P&F group, or have expressed interest in the past and have been left off this list, please contact Andrew ASAP.
