Enrolment Information for 2027

Prep Applications for 2027 are now open.

Our school zone

Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information on school zones in Victoria.

Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.

Our school manages enrolments using the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and may enrol at another school, if there are available places.

Foundation (Prep) enrolments

The Department of Education (DE) 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 Watsonia Heights Primary School.

You can find information and resources about the enrolment timeline and procedures at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).

Jumpstart School Preparation Program and School Transition Program
Our school has developed a school preparation program called Jumpstart. Jumpstart is designed to ensure that our enroled students feel well prepared for starting their school life and sets them up for academic success with core literacy and numeracy skills being developed.

 

We also run a separate Transition Program in Term 4 for all enrolled Preps. This is an opportunity to meet our current Prep teaching team, develop friendships and learn about the routines of school.
