Steps to enrol your child in Foundation (Prep) for the 2025 school year

To start primary school in 2026, your child will need to turn 5 years old by 30 April 2025. Schooling is compulsory for children who have turned 6 years old.

  2. Use Find my School to locate your designated neighbourhood school (referred to as your local school) and other nearby government schools.
  3. Contact a government primary school to book a school tour or to learn more about the school and the enrolment application process. The school will provide you with the form to complete.

Enrolment applications submitted after 25 July 2025 will be processed by the school as they are received, in accordance with the Department of Education's Placement Policy.

 

Your child has a right to enrol at their local school. Your child’s local school is determined on the basis of their permanent residential address. Visit Find my School to locate your child’s local school. The enrolling in a school page can also help you to confirm your child’s address for enrolment.

 

If you are seeking to apply to enrol your child in a school that is not their local school, you should read about school zones and how they work and how applications are prioritised using the Department of Education’s Placement Policy found on the enrolling in a school page.
