How to enrol

Prep/Foundation enrolment

Starting school is an exciting time for children, parents and carers. We want to help make the enrolment process as easy as possible for you. Each year, the department releases the Foundation (Prep) Enrolment Information Pack for Parents/Carers of students commencing foundation/prep the following year. these packs are available from the beginning of Term 2. These information packs, and other important information, can be found on the Enrolling in Foundation (Prep) page of the Victorian Government website.
