Enrolling at Ashburton Primary School
In Victoria, your child has the right to attend their designated neighbourhood school (your ‘local school’) under the Education and Training Reform Act 2006. You can also apply for a place at a school that is not your local school. The school will consider your application in line with the Placement Policy. For more information on the Placement Policy, visit https://www.vic.gov.au/how-choose-school-and-enrol
Our school uses an online system for new enrolments in Victorian Government Schools. Your child must be 5 years old by 30 April in the year that they start school.
The online system will be available for parents who are applying to enrol their child in Prep. An application form can be completed on laptops, PC’s and mobile phones. The online system will also allow you to upload documented proof of residential address.
