Everything you need to know on how to enrol your child at Beveridge Primary School. If you have questions not answered on this page (and on the linked pages) please contact the school office.
Every student has the right to attend their designated neighbourhood Government school, as per the Department’s Enrolment policy and the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic). Information on school zones and designated neighbourhood Government schools is available on the Find my School website, and further information about the school system in Victoria is available on the Victorian government website.
Our school boundary is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information about Victorian school zones.
Enrolments from outside the boundary can be submitted for consideration after September 30th, once the demand on our capacity from families within our boundary has become more clear. We cannot provide an outcome to students outside the boundary until we have assessed all applications from students inside the boundary.
Students residing in this zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address. Proof of residential address will be required per DET requirements.
The Department provides guidance through the School Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and the freedom to choose other schools, subject to facility limitations.
For more information, you can:
If you live outside the Beveridge Primary School zone you are not guaranteed a place at the school, since we must prioritise enrolments for students that live near our school. Please contact the school to put your child on our waitlist, but we highly recommend that you initiate enrolment with your local school in the meantime, on the assumption that Beveridge PS will not be able to accept your enrolment. In almost all cases we do not accept enrolments outside the Beveridge PS zone.
The Department of Education has a statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline.
The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation (Prep) at a Victorian government primary school, including Beveridge Primary School.
You can find information and resources about the enrolment timeline at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).
Our school uses the Department of Education’s secure digital enrolment system called VicStudents. This means you can submit your Foundation (Prep) application online and receive updates through the system. If you have any questions about the online enrolment process, please contact our school. Paper enrolment application forms are also available on request.
Enrolment in primary school is a two-step process:
You can only use the online form for new Preps in 2027 — for all other enrolments, please contact the school. If you need assistance using the online enrolment form, please refer to the Quick Reference Guide for Parents.
Please see the Starting School page on the Dept website for more information.
