2027 Foundation Applications

We are excited to inform our school community that applications for the 2027 Foundation program are now open via the Vic Student Portal or via Service Victoria.

We encourage current families with younger siblings to submit their application as soon as possible to assist with planning for the upcoming school year. Please note, applications are due by Friday, 31 July. If you have friends, neighbours, or extended family who are considering applying at Park Ridge Primary School, we warmly invite them to apply or book a school tour via our website.

Thank you for your support in helping our school community continue to grow.

Outside School Achievements

We are proud to recognise our students’ outstanding accomplishments outside of school. From excelling in sports, arts, and music to winning competitions and volunteering in the community, these achievements showcase their passion, dedication, and well-rounded talents. Keep shining and inspiring us all!

Please add your child's achievement along with a little blurb about what they achieved in the following link. Outsde School Achievements

Early Departure

We request that when parents/carers are collecting students early from school that where possible, break times be avoided. Break times are 11:15am - 11:55am and 1:35pm - 2:25pm. If these times can't be avoided, please arrange with the classroom teacher to have your child's bag brought to the office prior to break time.

Student Messages

If you are needing the office staff to pass a message to your child during the day for after school arrangements, please contact the office via phone, not via email, as early as possible, prior to 1:30pm is ideal.
