Enrolment

1. Zoning

All students, according to the Education Department zones (www.findmyschool.vic.gov.au), fall within the zone for the The Lake Primary School will be accepted.

Priority will then be given to siblings of children who are concurrently enrolled.

After satisfying The Lake Primary School zoned and sibling requirements, out-of-zone enrolments will be accepted if spaces are available. Students will generally be accepted in order of closest permanent residential address. Consideration for out-of-zone placements will occur in the month of August. In exceptional circumstances, compassionate grounds can be part of the enrolment eligibility.

The Lake Primary School Enrolment Policy is consistent with the Department of Education ‘Trainings Placement Policy’ which can be viewed on our Policy page

5. Start your educational journey with us

Over the Christmas holiday break your child's Prep teacher will be in contact with you to timeslot your child in for a Prep Assessment. This assessment usually takes approximately 1.5 hours and helps the teacher understand where your child is at academically. These assessments are done during the first week of school prior to your child commencing classes.
