Enrolment
Noarlunga Downs Primary School welcomes all families interested in having a tour or enrolling their child to contact our front office on 8384 4395 or email at dl.1068.info@schools.sa.edu.au to organise a principal tour.
Primary school
The first step is to ensure you have made an informed choice about the school your child is going to attend. The best way to do this is to make an appointment with a member of our leadership team, who will take you on a tour of the school. You will be able to view our facilities and see classes in action. You will also be able to ask any questions you may have.
Once you have made a decision, you can complete an enrolment form which is available from the front office.
We will liaise with the preschool or previous school your child is attending to ensure a smooth transition.
For new receptions a transition program is scheduled for both parents and students to become acquainted with their new school during term 2 or 4. A letter will be sent to you confirming days and times.
Fees and charges
The governing council approves the school materials and services (school fees) charge each year. This charge is a compulsory contribution towards the materials and services provided to students to support each area of curriculum including information technology, art and craft supplies, printing and photocopying, resource centre materials and stationery. It is not a fee for education and is GST free.

Uniform
Our dress code is navy blue. This includes windcheaters, polo shirts, pants, shorts, skirts and dresses.
Polo shirts, jumpers and hats with the Noarlunga Downs Primary School logo are available through DCL clothing. There are also some additional items offered including navy skorts, shorts, cargo pants and track pants. Use the link button below to enter the DCL website for ordering or a paper version is available at the office.
Students are to wear appropriate footwear for daily activity sessions.
Our sunsmart policy requires students to wear a hat in terms 1, 3 and 4 during recess, lunch and any outside activity. Students who do not have a hat will be asked to play in a designated shade area.
We believe that a school dress code is important because it:
- Contributes to whole school unity.
- Develops individual self-esteem through the feeling of belonging.
- Contributes to the development of a supportive school environment by reducing levels of competitive dressing.
- Develops a positive image of Noarlunga Downs Primary School in the wider community.
- Assists staff, students and parents in the identification of strangers in the school grounds, ensuring a greater level of safety.
Out of school hours care
Our OSHC is located off site and children are bussed to and from the service.
