Prep 2025

Enrolment meetings are currently being undertaken for children starting Prep in 2025.  Enrolling in Prep early means that the connection between home and school can be strengthened and that opportunities to engage with the school through transition experiences commence.  Families who have enrolled will be eligible to participate in a range of orientation experiences.  This will ensure that staff at the school know your child and that your child will have a strong sense of belonging at Marsden State School prior to commencing their first official day in Prep.

Once officially enrolled, keep an eye on your email for updates and invitations to the BLAST into Prep- Orientation Days.
