Enrolments
Ss Peter & Paul's Catholic Primary School Doncaster East
Enrolments for Prep are taken the year prior to commencing school. We encourage you to book a school tour by contacting our school office on 9842 2056 or by emailing principal@sppdcstr.catholic.edu.au
Prep enrolments are open to all students who turn 5 years by 30th April of the year they begin school.
To enrol at Ss Peter & Paul’s we ask you to complete an enrolment form, available online or from the school office. When submitting an enrolment from, please provide:
-
Birth certificate
-
Baptism certificate
-
Immunisation certificate
-
Passport & Visa Documents if the child is born overseas
We can photocopy these documents for you at the time of your enrolment if needed.
Enrolments in Other Year Levels
Enquiries about enrolments for students in other year levels are welcome. Availability of positions will be dependent on current numbers and within reason be controlled so as to:
-
Provide optimum learning facilities for each child
-
Ensure the size of the school is broadly consistent with the wishes of the school community
To enquire about enrolment in year levels other than Prep, call the office on 9842 2056 or email principal@sppdcstr.catholic.edu.au
Once an enrolment application is lodged an enrolment interview will be organised with the Principal. This interview gives us the opportunity to meet prospective students (and their parents), to learn a little about their needs and to answer any questions you may have about our school.
Prep Transition Program
New Prep students are welcomed to Ss Peter & Paul’s in May when they come in with their parents for a meeting with the school Principal. In October the children attend a transition program every week for three weeks. During these sessions the children meet their teacher and their class members. They sing, dance and complete fun activities. The children are given the opportunity to spend time playing with their peers. They visit areas of the school like the library, toilets and playground to make them feel at ease about their new adventure.
Buddy Program
On the first day of Prep students are assigned a Year Six Buddy. The Buddies then take the new prep students out to the playground for their first play at Ss Peter & Paul’s. Every second week the prep students spend time working in class with their Year Six Buddy. The relationships established form an important bond for the children.
Uniform
Wearing a school uniform instils in the child a sense of pride and self-esteem. It creates an atmosphere of being a member of a larger community. After the initial purchase, it also alleviates the financial burden of casual wear.
All items are available to purchase from our Uniform Shop located at the school. Opening hours are communicated to parents at the beginning of the school year. Orders can be placed via the order form available on the school website. EFTPOS facilities are available.
The Uniform shop is open every Friday morning during school terms between 9.00am-10.00am. You are welcome to complete a order form and lodge it at the school office for orders to be sent home.

Hear from Our Community
"We’ve been so impressed with the thought, time and energy the teachers put into their teaching. The teachers' encouragement, patience and care have had such a positive impact on our children."
Daniella, Parent
"I am forever grateful that SSPP has provided a friendly and supporting environment for my two children. During the lockdown, school had tried so many ways to connect with children. We all loved the Karaoke lunch, dance lunch, Trivia night as well the Italian cooking via Google meet / Zoom. Teachers showed much enthusiasm working with youth online. Now my little one has grown up being a caring person and considerate of others. Thank all teachers to make learning so much fun. As well as my sincere thank for our dear principal, Trish. Her leadership and positive attitude have helped pull us through. We feel very fortunate to have you as our principal during these challenging times."
