Our School Zone

All schools have a designated neighbourhood zone which can be view at findmyschool.vic.gov.au

Students residing within our school zone, based on their permanent residential address, are guaranteed a place at our school. Due to our current enrolment capacity, we are unable to accept enrolments from outside our neighbourhood zone.

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.

It is also necessary for parents to ensure that any custodial information is presented during enrolment. Custody papers must be presented to the Administration Officer and the school will also need to keep a copy of this documentation – this is kept strictly confidential. The custodial parent is asked to ensure that all necessary accurate information is given when enrolling.
