We welcome enrolment enquiries from families seeking a high-quality education in a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
If your child is starting Foundation (Prep) in 2027, you can apply to enrol them at a Victorian government primary school from the beginning of Term 2, 2026. The Department of Education manages a statewide Foundation enrolment process to ensure a consistent experience for all families.

School Zones
Every Victorian child has the right to attend their designated neighbourhood government school.
Our school zone is available on the Find my School website, which provides the most up-to-date information on Victorian government school zones.
Students living within the school’s designated zone are guaranteed a place, subject to verification of their permanent residential address. Families may also apply to schools outside their local zone, with applications considered in accordance with the Department of Education’s Placement Policy and available places.
School Tours
We encourage prospective families to attend a school tour to experience our learning environment, meet our staff and discover what our school has to offer.
School tours are held regularly throughout the year. Please contact the school office to arrange a suitable time.
Enrolment Timeline
The Department of Education publishes a statewide Foundation enrolment timeline each year. Families are encouraged to submit applications within the published timeframe to ensure applications can be processed promptly. Applications received after the closing date will continue to be considered as they are received.
