We warmly welcome enrolment enquiries from all families.

 

How to Enrol

2027 - FOUNDATION (PREP) ENROLMENTS

All Victorian government primary schools follow the statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline, which outlines when and how families can enrol their child in a Victorian government primary school.

For more information about the enrolment timeline, visit Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).

Our school uses the Victorian Department of Education’s secure online enrolment system, VicStudents. Through VicStudents, families can submit their Foundation (Prep) enrolment application online and receive updates throughout the process.

If you have any questions about the online enrolment process, please contact our school office.

OTHER YEAR LEVEL ENROLMENTS
We also accept enrolment applications for students in other year levels. You can submit a request at any time in the school year.
Eligible students who live within our school zone are guaranteed a place, while students outside the zone may be enrolled if places are available.
If you are seeking enrolment at other year levels, please contact our school for more information.
