2027 Prep Enrolments

Our school zone

Our school has an enrolment restriction under section 2.2.16 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic).

Our school will prioritise enrolments from:

• students who live within the school zone
• students with a sibling attending the school at the same time
• students seeking enrolment on compassionate grounds, in exceptional circumstances.

Depending on available places remaining, our school may be able to accept a limited number of out-of-zone enrolments according to next closest to the school.

The department will review this enrolment restriction yearly and provide updated advice as necessary.

Our school manages enrolments using the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their local school. 

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. Your school zone is determined based on your permanent residential address.

For more information about our school zone, please contact our school. For answers to frequently asked questions about school zones, visit School zones.
