Foundation Enrolments and Transition


To start primary school, your child will need to turn 5 years old by 30 April. If your child is starting Foundation (Prep) next year, you will be able to apply to enrol your child in a Victorian government primary school from the start of Term 2.

What you need to do:

  1. Contact our school 03 5793 1288 to book an optional school tour. 
  2. Download the Foundation (Prep) enrolment information pack from Enrolling in Foundation (Prep) (available Monday 20 April 2026). This pack includes guidance on the application process.  
  3. Submit an enrolment application by Friday 31 July 2026. Our school uses the Department of Education’s secure digital enrolment system called VicStudents. This means you can submit your Foundation (Prep) application online and receive updates through the system. If you have any questions about the online enrolment process, please contact our school. Paper enrolment application forms are also available on request. 
  4. You will be notified of the outcome of your application between Monday 3 August and Friday 14 August 2026.  
  5. If you receive an enrolment offer, you should accept the offer by Friday 28 August 2026. 
  6. Take part in school transition sessions during Term 4, 2026. 
  7. Prepare your child to start Foundation (Prep) from Thursday 28 January 2027. 

Enrolment applications submitted after July will be processed by the school as they are received, in accordance with the Department of Education's Placement Policy.

 

Your child has a right to enrol at their local school. Your child’s local school is determined on the basis of their permanent residential address. Visit Find my School to locate your child’s local school. The enrolling in a school page can also help you to confirm your child’s address for enrolment.

 

If you are seeking to apply to enrol your child in a school that is not their local school, you should read about school zones and how they work and how applications are prioritised using the Department of Education’s Placement Policy found on the enrolling in a school page.
