2026 Enrolment Criteria

Our school has an enrolment restriction under section 2.2.16 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic). Approved entry criteria for our school for the year 2026 are:

• students who live within the school zone

• students with a sibling attending the school at the same time

• students seeking enrolment on compassionate grounds, in exceptional circumstances.

Students seeking enrolment in foundation (prep) must meet one of the above criteria to be eligible for enrolment. Students seeking enrolment in other year levels continue to be subject to the Placement Policy.

The department will review this enrolment restriction yearly and provide updated advice as necessary for the subsequent school year.
