Enrolment

Selecting the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. At Nullawarre and District Primary School we aim to provide prospective families with the opportunity to see our school in action and meet staff and students in order to make a truly informed decision. Children who reach the age of five by April 30th may commence Prep at the beginning of the year. We welcome all other enrolments at any time of the year. All prospective families are invited to meet with the Principal for a personalised tour and to discuss your child’s educational requirements.

Supporting documentation for enrolment

An enrolment form must be completed if you are enrolling your child for the first time in the Victorian government school system. Most commonly this would occur at Foundation (Prep).

This form seeks personal and health information that should only be provided to the school your child will attend.

You will be required to provide the following information and documentation:

• evidence of identity and date of birth (for example, a birth certificate or passport)
• Immunisation History Statement
• your contact details
• emergency contact details
• health information about your child (such as allergies or illnesses they need to manage)
• other legal orders relating to your child and their welfare.
