Will there be a Transition / Orientation session?
Foundation Orientation and Information sessions are held in Term 4 for prospective families. All families who have successful enrolments will be advised of dates and time of the sessions.
Do we have to live within the school zone?
All Melbourne schools have a local neighbourhood area. The Department of Education and Training requires that schools allocate places to students residing within that area.
Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information on school zones in Victoria.
​
Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.
​
Our school manages enrolments using the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and may enrol at another school, if there are available places.
