Prep Enrolment
The Department of Education has released an updated statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline for the 2027 school year.
The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation (Prep) at a Victorian government primary school.
All government primary schools will follow the timeline in 2026 to support Foundation (Prep) enrolments for the 2027 school year.
You can find information and resources about the timeline, including factsheets and a poster at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).
While foundation (prep) enrolments have now closed, we still have some 2027 places available.
2026 and 2027 Enrolment Enquiries
Currently we only have limited capacity in our prep-one classes for 2026 out of zone enrolments. In zone enrolments for 2026 and 2027 are available across all levels of our school.
For 2026 and 2027 enrolments please complete an enrolment enquiry or book a tour with a member of the school’s leadership team.
Enrolment Process
At Spensley Street we are governed by the Department of Education and Training’s Enrolment Policy. We accept Prep enrolments in the year preceding a child beginning school, not before.
For students in other year levels, we accept enrolments throughout the school year dependent upon vacancies in the applicable year levels. As part of the Department of Education’s Enrolment Policy, students are able to apply for a place at a school that is not their designated neighbourhood school.
Prep Transition
As part of our Transition to Prep program, we invite all children who are offered a prep position to attend school during term 4, to experience school life. During this time, parents can attend information sessions about the school and meet other families. We send all new families Prep Transition information early in Term 4.
If you have any questions about enrolling your child at Spensley Street, please contact the school office.
