Enrolments

Check Eligibility

Ensure that your child meets the eligibility criteria for enrolment. Ideally, you should either reside within our designated neighbourhood zone as outlined by the Victorian Department of Education. If we have capacity, we can accept out of zone applications.

Our school follows the Department of Education’s Enrolment Policy for the enrolment, placement, and transfer of students.

Find my School will help you determine your designated neighbourhood school zone.

We offer school tours and information sessions for prospective students and their families. 

This is an opportunity to familiarise yourself with the school's facilities, visit classrooms and ask questions. 

This will all be organised after you contact the school.
