PREP ENROLMENT

Yarra Primary School Prep Parent Handbook

The Department of Education has released a new statewide timeline for enrolling Foundation students in Victorian government schools. 

The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation and seeks to make the enrolment process simpler, clearer and fairer for families.

The new timeline will apply for children starting Prep in 2026. All government primary schools will follow the new timeline. As an example, if your child is starting Prep in 2026, you will be able to apply to enrol your child in a Victorian government primary school from the start of Term 2, 2025.

Please note that your child will need to turn five by 30th April of the year they start school. Call or email us for further information about enrolling your child. We look forward to having you as a part of our wonderful school.
