DUNTROON PRE-SCHOOL
The Duntroon pre-school is operated in conjunction with the Department of Education and enrolments are always welcome. As this is a popular pre-school, the priority for enrolments is as follows;
- any families posted to RMC,
- any other defence members,
- any civilians working for defence and any other civilians residing within the Act area.
To enrol, the child must turn four by the 30 April on the year they enter pre-school. Enrolment forms can be obtained from the Duntroon pre-school or Department of Education. Please note that a number of pre-school positions are reserved for the mid year posting cycle. This means those families moving to Duntroon during the year are not disadvantaged.
