Registration for kindergarten 2026 now open 📢🤸
We are making registering for kindergarten easy with registrations opening from today, Thursday 1 May 2025.
When registering, you will be asked to select your kindergarten preferences and unlike previous years you will also select the session days/times.
The registration period is open until 27 June 2025, with no cost to register.
Once registration closes, we will process first round offers and email these to families from late July.
Families will have seven days to accept or decline the offer to attend the allocated kindergarten session and time. If the place is accepted, families will finalise the enrolment directly with the kindergarten, marking the end of the enrolment process.

Free Internet for Eligible Families:School Broadband Initiative (SSBI)
We are excited to share that the School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI) is offering free home internet to eligible students until 31 December 2025. This initiative, led by the National Broadband Network (NBN) and supported by the Federal Government, aims to support students’ educational needs by narrowing the digital divide.
Families with school-aged children may qualify if they don’t already have an active NBN internet service at home. If eligible, they can access free internet through the NBN, which other household members can also use.
To find out more or check your eligibility, contact the National Referral Centre at 1800 954 610. Translation services are available, and no financial details are required.
For additional information, including the application process and participating internet providers, please visit the School Student Broadband Initiative (SSBI) website: https://www.schools.vic.gov.au/school-student-broadband-initiative-ssbi
