The Burgmann Anglican School Early Learning Centre (ELC) offers care for children from six months through to a comprehensive program for two year olds. Please note: it is not an official intake point for the School.

The Burgmann Anglican School Early Learning Centre (ELC) opened in January 2020. The ELC is grounded in the Christian faith and adopts the Reggio Emilia approach to learning. The centre caters for children aged from six months to two years (the year prior to Preschool). It shares the same philosophies and practices as Burgmann Anglican School.

Yes. Burgmann Anglican School has offered a Preschool program for more than 25 years. While the program has evolved over time and been known by various names, its core philosophies and commitment to educating the whole child have remained consistent.

From 2027, the program will again be known as Preschool. It is designed specifically for three- and four-year-old children in 3 Pre and 4 Pre, and will be delivered in a purpose-designed new facility at our Forde campus. Grounded in the Christian faith, Preschool provides a nurturing and engaging environment for children in the years prior to Kindergarten and shares the same values, educational approach and sense of community that underpin learning across Burgmann Anglican School.

Both programs operate five days per week, Monday to Friday, across 49 weeks of the year, with a three week closure over December and January. Daily hours are 7.30am to 6.00pm for the ELC, and 8.00am to 6.00pm for the Preschool, providing full-day early learning and care.

Waiting lists vary over time as family circumstances and enrolment needs change. Year 7 is our most in-demand entry point and usually has the longest waiting list.

No. A child can only be placed on one waiting list at a time. If a place is not available in the year level you originally requested, your child’s name will automatically be carried forward to the next year level’s waiting list while maintaining the original date of registration.

Because your child’s original registration date is maintained as they move through subsequent waiting lists, applying for multiple year levels would not provide additional enrolment opportunity.

If you wish to move to another waiting list, please email the Admissions Office at admissions@burgmann.act.edu.au

No, Burgmann does not have the necessary registration with CRICOS to be able to accept students from overseas. For students travelling on other visa classes, please refer to the Education Directorate website.

Otherwise you do not need to contact the school. The Admissions office will contact you if and when a place becomes available.

If a prospective student is offered a place that is not accepted, their registration date will be changed to the date that they decline the offer; or the date the offer expired if they do not respond.
