Early Learning Centre Induction Information
Welcome to the Walford community. We are thrilled your child will be joining us in the ELC.
We know that starting at a new school is an exciting milestone for both students and families, and we're here to make the transition as smooth as possible.
This page will guide you through each step of the onboarding process, from completing enrolment requirements and accessing key information to preparing for your child’s first day. Follow the steps below to ensure you have everything you need to begin your Walford journey with confidence.
Communication Platforms
To help you stay connected with your child's learning and school life, Walford uses several communication platforms that provide important information and updates throughout the year.
Walford App
The Walford App is the main source of news and notices during the year. We kindly request that you download it via your device's App Store and search for Walford App.
MyWalford
MyWalford is the hub for school information, communications, reports and more. Each member of your family will have their own MyWalford account.
To access the account, you will need to use the details provided in your onboarding email.
On your first login you will be prompted to create your own password and setup Multi-Factor Authentication. Please note that until your child commences there will be limited details visible on your MyWalford account.
Support: If you have any problems with setting up your account, please contact our IT Department.

Uniform Requirements
Students from early learning to Year 2 enjoy the benefits of a play-based uniform designed to support them in their diverse and engaging activities.
ELC Uniform Bookings
We encourage every new student to make an appointment at the School Shop to view the all-seasons wardrobe, in which students select from a capsule collection of interchangeable items.
The Walford School Shop stocks the full range of uniform items required by students across all year levels. Future purchases can be made instore or online.
Food Program
To support our families with the busyness of daily life, we have developed the Bright Bites food program.
Bright Bites
Bright Bites is a cost-effective, opt-in service that provides nutritious, child-friendly meals to our ELC children on a four-week rotating menu.
Orders can be made through the Flexischools App using your child’s ID number to activate their account.
