Enrolment
Enrolment
As we are a Department for Education (government) school, Richmond Primary School primarily enrols students who live in our catchment area. You can check this by entering your home address into the DfE Catchment Finder – you are considered to be in our catchment if RPS is the first listed school.
Please note that despite the name of our school, addresses in the suburb of Richmond, SA do not automatically qualify for enrolment. Please refer to the Catchment Finder for accurate results.
If your address falls outside our school catchment area but you would still like to be considered for enrolment, you can click the link on the right to fill out our online Registration of Interest form to be considered for a place at RPS.
Due to the high volume of requests for enrolment that Richmond Primary receives, please allow at least two weeks for us to process your request. If you have any questions, feel free to email us at dl.0381.info@schools.sa.edu.au and someone will respond to you as soon as possible.
Registrations of Interest for Reception school starters should be submitted between 6 and 12 months before your child is due to start school.
Priority Enrolment
Students are eligible for priority enrolment if Richmond Primary School is the first school listed under your address when searched using the Catchment Finder. Please click the link on the right to complete a Registration of Interest for enrolment at RPS.
Younger siblings of current RPS students will also receive priority enrolment, regardless of whether they are in catchment.
