New statewide timeline for Foundation (Prep) enrolments

The first year of primary school is called Foundation or Prep.

A new statewide timeline for enrolling in Foundation (Prep) for the 2024 school year has been released.

The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation (Prep) at a Victorian government school. The timeline seeks to make the enrolment process simpler, clearer and fairer for families.

The timeline will apply for children starting Foundation (Prep) in 2024. All government primary schools, including P-9 and P-12 schools, will follow the new timeline.

What you need to do:

1. Download the ‘Foundation (Prep) Enrolment Information Pack for Parents/Carers.'
2. Use Find my School to locate your designated neighbourhood school (referred to as your local school) and other nearby government schools. 
3. Contact a government primary school to book a school tour or to learn more about the school and the enrolment application process. The school will provide you with the form to complete.
4. Submit an enrolment application for Foundation (Prep) by Friday 28 July 2023.
5. You will be notified of the outcome of your application by Friday 11 August 2023. If you receive an enrolment offer, you should accept the offer by Friday 25 August 2023.
6. Take part in enrolment information and transition sessions during Term 4, 2023.
7. Your child will start Foundation (Prep) from Tuesday 30 January 2024.

Enrolment applications submitted after 28 July 2023 will be processed by the school as they are received, in accordance with the Department of Education's Placement Policy.

Your child has a right to enrol at their local school. Your child’s local school is determined on the basis of their permanent residential address. Proof of residential address will be required upon application.  

Enrolment applications submitted after 28 July 2023 will be processed by the school as they are received, in accordance with the Department of Education's Placement Policy.

Your child has a right to enrol at their local school. Your child’s local school is determined on the basis of their permanent residential address. Visit Find my School to locate your child’s local school. The enrolling in a school page can also help you to confirm your child’s address for enrolment.

If you are seeking to apply to enrol your child in a school that is not their local school, you should read about school zonesand how they work and how applications are prioritised using the Department of Education’s Placement Policy found on the enrolling in a school page.

Second hand dresses, shorts, pants, shirts and jumpers are available to purchase at the office.

Please label all clothing. We have many hats and jumpers that go missing and it is much easier to give them back to the correct child when it has a name on it. 

Sometimes there can be accidents where your child may wet or dirty their clothes. Please pack a change of clothes in your Childs school bag - just in case!

• CSEF applications must be returned by 19th June
