At Andale School, we are committed to ensuring that our educational environment is the right fit for each student. Our enrolment process is designed to assess suitability and support a smooth transition.

Families are required to complete the Prospective Enrolment Form available on our website. This form provides initial information to assist in determining eligibility. Please refer to our Policies and Resources section for detailed enrolment criteria.

Upon review of the submitted form, a member of our Enrolment team will contact the family via phone or email to discuss the student’s individual needs and the suitability of our schools’ program.
3. School Tour
Families will be invited to attend a tour of Andale School. This visit offers an opportunity to explore our facilities, gain insight into our educational approach, and ask any relevant questions.

Families will be requested to provide further relevant documentation, including clinical reports and assessments. The provided documentation will be reviewed by our team, in line with our privacy policy.

6. Student Trial Placement
Eligible students will be invited to participate in a trial placement at the school, over a minimum period of two days. This allows both the student and the school to assess the suitability of the placement.

Many students come to Andale because their learning needs cannot be met in their current education setting. Andale supports students who have learning and language difficulties. Although we have students with autism spectrum disorder, we are not an autism specific school. Please refer to the Enrolment Criteria for more detailed information.
Andale has on average eight to ten students per class. Small class sizes allow students to benefit from a tailored and individualised program.
Students are graded by age and ability in small multi-age classes. Social and emotional needs are also considered when establishing class groups

At Andale we are unable to cater for students that have behavioural concerns outweighing their learning needs. Students are expected to participate within the class and be able to work independently. Whilst we have learning support officers within the classroom, they do not work one on one with students. Students must be able to act in a safe manner within the Andale school environment. Andale’s programs and facilities cannot cater for students with behavioural disorders.
School hours operate from 9am to 3pm. Students are supervised in the school yard from 8:30am. Students can attend our after school care program which runs until 5:30pm each day.
Andale School is an independent primary school. The annual Tuition fees are $16,428.
