Digital Enrolment for Prep (Foundation) in 2027
Our school uses an online system for new enrolments to Victorian government schools called VicStudents. VicStudents is available for students who are enrolling in a Victorian Government School for the first time. This includes Foundation (Prep) enrolments.
VicStudents has been assessed by the Department of Education to a high degree of security in line with the Victorian Protective Data Security Standards and is compliant with ISO 27001, the leading international standard for information security. Please see the Digital Enrolment Parent Carer Guide for more information.
All Victorian government primary schools follow the statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline.
The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child at a Victorian government primary school.
For more information about the enrolment timeline, visit: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).
