Enrolment
Choosing the right school for your child is an important decision. At Warranwood Primary School, we aim to make the enrolment process as simple and clear as possible for families.
Our school zone can be viewed on the Victorian Government’s Find My School website (findmyschool.vic.gov.au), which provides the most up-to-date information about school zones across Victoria.
Children who live within our school zone, as well as siblings of current students, are guaranteed a place at Warranwood Primary School.
Families who live outside our school zone are also welcome to apply for enrolment. If places are available, we will happily consider these applications. When there are more applications than places available, enrolments are decided according to the Department of Education’s Placement Policy. This policy gives priority based on how close a family lives to the school.
If you are unsure whether your home address is within our school zone, the Find My School website will help you identify your designated neighbourhood school.
We warmly welcome families to submit an enrolment application or contact the school office if you would like further information.
2027 Prep Enrollments
Foundation (also known as Prep) is the first year of primary school in Victoria.
Your child can start school if they turn 5 years old before 30 April 2027.

When can I apply?

What are my child’s enrolment rights?
In Victoria, your child has the right to attend their designated neighbourhood school (your ‘local school’) under the
Education and Training Reform Act 2006. Your local school is determined by the school zone for your permanent
residential address. To learn more about how enrolment decisions are made, visit Enrolling in school.
