Prep (Foundation) Enrolments for 2027

All Victorian government primary schools follow the statewide Prep / Foundation enrolment timeline.

The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child at a Victorian government primary school.

For more information about the enrolment timeline, visit: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).

From 2026, our school will use the Department of Education’s secure digital enrolment system called VicStudents for Prep / Foundation 2027 enrolments. This means you can submit your Prep / Foundation application online and receive updates through the system.

Please refer to the Online Enrolment Parent and Carer Quick Reference Guide for assistance.

If you have any questions about the online enrolment process, please contact our school.

Paper enrolment application forms are also available on request.

You will be able to apply to enrol your child in Prep / Foundation 2027 at St Kilda Primary School from 20 April 2026.

Prep / Foundation 2027 completed Enrolment Applications, including Out of Zone Applications, should be submitted by Friday 31 July 2026.

We will provide Parents / Carers with written notification of Prep 2027 enrolment outcomes as per the Department’s Placement Policy between Monday 3 and Friday 14 August 2026.

How to Enrol in Other Year Levels – Prep 2026 and Grade 1 to 6

We also accept enrolment applications for students in other year levels. You can submit a request at any time in the school year.

Eligible students who live within our school zone are guaranteed a place, while students outside the zone may be enrolled if there are available places.

The digital online enrolment system will not be used for year levels other than Prep 2027 until later in 2026. Therefore, please continue to use the enrolment process below for enrolment applications for year levels other than Prep 2027. i.e. Prep 2026 to Grade 6.

If St Kilda Primary School is the school for you and you live:

• outside our school zone please complete the Student Application Form and send to st.kilda.ps@education.vic.gov.au. To support assessment of your application, should you believe exceptional circumstances exist that would be relevant to consideration of enrolment based on compassionate grounds, please provide full details.  An enrolment form will be provided if placement is offered.
• within our school zone please complete the Student Enrolment Form and the  SKPS Consent forms for the year that your child will commence at SKPS (2026 (2 sets) or 2027) and send to st.kilda.ps@education.vic.gov.au.

Please note that the above documents are all PDF fillable and we ask that you complete them in softcopy and return them via email if possible.

If you require a paper form, please contact the school office on 03 9534 3993.

Please return the following supporting documentation with your Enrolment Form:

• Birth Certificate
• Immunisation Certificate (Refer below for requirements)
• Proof of student’s permanent residence (For guidance, please refer to the Residential Address Checklist) 
• Current Visa (If applicable)

All supporting documentation must be received, including the original Birth Certificate being sighted at the Office, in order to finalise enrolment.

Immunisation Status

The amendments to the No Jab, No Play legislation have tightened requirements for enrolment in early childhood services and impact acceptable documentation for school entry immunisation requirements.

By law, we are required to request and record information on the immunisation status of students prior to enrolment. Parents or guardians must provide an immunisation status certificate to the school regardless of whether the child is immunised or not.

An Immunisation History Statement from the Australian Immunisation Register via Medicare is the only form of documentation accepted as proof of a child’s immunisation status when you are enrolling a child at SKPS.

Documents produced by GPs or other immunisation providers will no longer be sufficient as a form of evidence. 

There is no requirement to produce this certificate if your child is already enrolled at school.

Update of Changed Circumstances

Please make sure that you advise the School of any changed contact details or relevant information about your child by email so that our records remain accurate.

If at any time during your child’s enrolment with SKPS your one household family becomes a two household family, the DoE requires these details be updated. The office can assist you with the completion of the appropriate forms for your circumstances.

It is important to note that our Compass Parent Portal issues one login per family.  Therefore a second login cannot be issued unless the two household family details have been updated.
