FOUNDATION ENROLMENT PROCESS FOR 2026
We would appreciate families, who wish to enrol for 2026, visiting the school to receive a paper enrolment form. This gives us a chance to meet you, answer any questions that you may have and start our enrolment process early. Siblings of current students and new students can be enroled and we can consider students just out of our zone, dependent on vacancies.
If you are unable to do this - VicStudents is available for students who are enrolling in a Victorian Government School for the first time.
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.
