HOW DO I ENROL MY CHILD?

You will need to complete an Enrolment Application form (Available from Term 2) .

The Enrolment Application should be completed and returned to school with the following documents –

  • Birth Certificate or Child’s Passport

  • Immunisation Certificate

  • Child’s Passport (if child born overseas)

  • Child’s Passport (if child born in Australia and parents born overseas)

  • Evidence of Residency Status (if parents born overseas) – Passport and Visa Details

  • Proof of address documents - Drivers Licence, 12 month Lease Agreement/Council Rates notice and 2 utility bills e.g. gas, electricity

When do I have to submit the Enrolment form?

The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation at a Victorian government primary school, including Viewbank Primary School.
