Enrolments

Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au. Findmyschool.vic.gov.au hosts the most up-to-date information about Victorian school zones for 2020 onwards.

Students residing in this zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.

The Department provides guidance through the School Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school.

You can find more information and answers to frequently asked questions on the Department’s website under School zones.

Step 2

Enrolment Documentation

All student enrolments must be formalised by completing an enrolment form and providing copies of the following documentation:

• Birth Certificate (English translated)
• Immunisation Form from the Australian Immunisation Register
• Proof of Residence (100-Point Checklist) To avoid delays to the enrolment process, please ensure that the documents you supply add up to the 100-points required for proof of residence
• Medical Management Plans (Asthma and Anaphylaxis)
• Student Visa*
• Latest School Report
• Student Drawing or Letter for the Principal

*All copies of student visas must be provided to the School as part of the enrolment process. The student’s eligibility for enrolment is based on the visa of the student and then in the second instance the family or parent. Depending on the status and visa number, students may need to apply through the Victorian Schools International Division https://www.study.vic.gov.au/en/Pages/default.aspx

Step 4

Pre enrolment interview & agreement

All new students are required to complete a pre-enrolment General Assessment Test prior to enrolment and also attend with their families a pre enrolment interview with the Principal, Assistant Principal or Head of Student Wellbeing.

The Principal also requests a copy of the child’s most recent school report and for your child to write a letter to the Principal or draw a picture. Both of these items are to be submitted along with the enrolment application.

These additional documents will be used to support your child’s transition to our school, not to consider whether an enrolment is accepted.

Each interview is approximately 30 minutes and all interviews are held at the School.

Each Student Assessment will take approximately 20 minutes for Prep to Grade 2 students and 1 hour for Grade 3-6 Students and are held at the school.  Whilst the student is sitting the assessment – parents are encouraged to meet with our Office Manager to answer any questions you may have.  Interview and Assessment times and dates are confirmed when an enrolment application is submitted in full.
