Enrolment
Thank you for your interest in Seaview Christian College.
We strive to provide a values-based, independent Christian education, with a supportive and inclusive learning environment where students can thrive.
We welcome children from a variety of Christian backgrounds and traditions, as well as families who, while not necessarily Christian, seek a Christian school culture and educational experience for their children. We believe that every student should have the opportunity to grow in faith, learning, and character. With our dedicated teachers, we aim to set students up for success.

What year should my child go into?
Every parent or carer will inevitably ask, when does my child start school? When a child actually starts is determined by their date of birth and the cut off dates set by the State or Territory government where the child will attend school.
In South Australia, all children must enrol in and attend a government or non-government school full time by their 6th birthday through to 16 years old - this is the compulsory school age.
Children who turn 5 years old:
-
before 1 May can start school in term 1
-
between 1 May and 31 October can start school in term 3 (mid-year intake)
-
after 31 October start the following year.
Students are eligible to enter the first year of secondary school, Year 7, after completing primary education.
Teenagers must go to school or an approved learning program until they turn 17 unless they achieve their SACE or other qualification; are in full-time employment.
