Foundation 2024 Enrolment Process

The Department of Education (DE) has released a new statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline. 

The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation (Prep) at a Victorian government primary school, including Clifton Hill Primary School.

The new timeline will apply for children starting Foundation (Prep) in 2024. All government primary schools will follow the new timeline in 2023 to support Foundation (Prep) enrolments for the 2024 school year.

You can find information and resources about the new timeline, including factsheets, at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep). You can also download the ‘Foundation (Prep) Enrolment Information Pack for Parents/Carers for the 2024 school year’ from the Starting School webpage (available from 24 April 2023). 

You will be able to apply to enrol your child in Foundation (Prep) 2024 from 24 April 2023.

What you need to do:

1. Download the Foundation (Prep) enrolment information pack from Enrolling in Foundation (Prep) (available from 24 April 2023)
2. Submit an enrolment application for Foundation (Prep) by Friday 28 July 2023
3. You will be notified of the outcome of your application by Friday 11 August 2023. If you receive an offer of placement, you should contact our school to accept the offer by Friday 25 August 2023
4. Take part in enrolment information and transition sessions during Term 4, 2023

Enrolment applications submitted after 28 July 2023 will be processed by our school as they are received, in accordance with the department’s Placement Policy.

We will provide reminders to our community to ensure the timeline for Foundation 2024 enrolment is met.
