Online Enrolment
This year, our school is using VicStudents, an online system for new enrolments in Victorian government schools. VicStudents is available at select schools, for students who are enrolling in a Victorian government school for the first time. This includes Foundation enrolments for 2026.
VicStudents has been assessed by the Department of Education to a high degree of security in line with the Victorian Protective Data Security Standards and is compliant with ISO 27001, the leading international standard for information security.
2026 foundation enrolments
The Department of Education has released the statewide Foundation enrolment timeline for the 2026 school year. The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation at a Victorian government primary school. The timeline also applies to online enrolment. All government primary schools will follow the timeline in 2025 to support Foundation enrolments for the 2026 school year. You can find information and resources about the timeline, including factsheets and a poster at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep). You will be able to apply to enrol your child in Foundation 2026 from 22 April 2025.

Kinder to foundation
transition
The Future Stars Program is a transition program designed to assist children with the transition from Kindergarten/Childcare to Primary School.
The program aims to provide children and parents the opportunity to become familiar with our school facilities, meet the foundation teachers and experience fun, engaging learning activities that introduce them to the environment and structure of school.
The Program typically runs for four weeks, in the fourth term of the previous year to the child starting School. Children will spend one hour a week at school participating in many different activities including Art, Music, Library, Physical Education and Classroom activities.
The Future Stars program has proven in previous years to be a huge success, preparing children for the many years of learning ahead.
Placement and Zoning
Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information on school zones in Victoria.
Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.
Our school manages enrolments using the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and may enrol at another school, if there are available places.
