Enrolment

Student Enrolment Age

To start primary school your child will need to turn five years of age by 30 April of the year that they start school. A child must be at school (or registered for home schooling) in the year that they turn six years of age - this is the compulsory school starting age.

 


Local Neighbourhood Boundaries/Zones

​Some Primary Schools need to restrict their enrolments – and the number of students they can take – to a particular area or zone around the school due to their current school size and the facilitates that they have available to them.

When to Enrol

You can enrol your child in a Victorian government primary school at any time during the year. This is particularly helpful if you are moving to a new area, interstate or from overseas once you have a residential address in Victoria. Enrolment is made directly with the school.

Coimadai Primary School starts taking enrolments as early as February the year before your child is due to start school. We recommend that all children are enrolled by October the year before your child is due to start school. This enables the school to provide indicative numbers for the following year to the Department of Education and Training and time to prepare classes, transition program and appoint teachers for the following year.
 
How to Enrol

To enrol your child in a Victorian government school you will need to fill out an enrolment form which you obtain from the school and provide the school with important information about your child, including:

  • evidence of your child’s date of birth (copy of birth certificate)
  • your contact details, including phone number and address, and those of any other parent, guardian and/or carer
  • names and contact details of emergency contacts
  • doctor’s and dentist’s names and phone numbers
  • Immunisation Status Certificate
  • health and welfare information
  • information about the language/s your child speaks and hears at home.

If you need an interpreter to help fill out the enrolment form, the school staff can help organise this for you.
