The following timeline advises families of when and how to enrol their child into Prep at a Victorian government school.

 

To start primary school in 2026, your child will need to turn 5 years old by the 30th of April 2026.

 

Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined by your permanent residential address, followed by priority placement for siblings. We may also accept enrolments from families outside the designated zone, if there are available places.

 

Our school manages enrolments using the Department’s Placement Policy.

 

What you need to do:

 

• Use the Find my School website https://www.findmyschool.vic.gov.au/ to locate your designated neighbourhood school (local school). Your child’s local school is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.

• Attend the Information evening or contact our Administration Office (03) 9459 0732 to book a school tour.

• Application forms will be available from Tuesday 22nd April 2025 via our website or can be collected from our school Administration Office.

• Submit your child’s application form by Friday 25th July 2025.

• If you can provide proof of residency with your application, or you have a child already enrolled in the school, you are guaranteed a place at the school. You will be emailed enrolment documents.

• If you’re out of zone, you will be notified of the outcome of your application between Monday 28th July and Friday 8th of August 2025.

• Enrolled students will take part in transition sessions during Term 4, 2025.

• Your child will start Prep on Thursday 29th January 2026.

 

Enrolment applications submitted after the 25th of July 2025 will be processed by our school as they are received, in accordance with the Department’s Placement Policy.
