Enrolments for 2025
We understand that choosing a school for your son or daughter is a momentous task. Our goal is to make the enrolment process as informed and streamlined as possible. Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information on school zones in Victoria.
All students permanently residing within our school zone and siblings of current students, are guaranteed a place at Wonga Park Primary School. All students who seek enrolment residing outside of our designated neighbourhood school are able to be accepted, provided we have a space available. Where there is insufficient accommodation at the school, students will be enrolled according to the Placement Policy’s priority order of placement (in order of closeness of their home to the school) so we welcome families who reside outside of our zone to put in an application form for consideration.
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. All students that reside within the area of a designated neighbourhood school (referred to as a ‘school zone’) are automatically offered an enrolment. Find my School website provides guidance on which school zone a student’s permanent residence is located within.

2025 Foundation (Prep) enrolments - NEW Online System
This year our school will use an online system for new enrolments to Victorian Government schools called VicStudents. All primary schools in Inner East and Outer East areas of the North East Victoria Region are using this online system. VicStudents is available for students who are enrolling in a Victorian Government School for the first time. This includes Foundation (Prep) enrolments for 2025.
It is important to note that the placement policy is followed by all government schools. You can view the placement policy here. Your chances of being offered a place in the schools you apply for are not advantaged or disadvantaged by using this system. VicStudents has been assessed by the Department of Education to a high degree of security in line with the Victorian Protective Data Security Standards and is compliant with ISO 27001, the leading international standard for information security.
Victorian government school enrolments for Foundation (Prep) for the 2025 school year will open from Monday 15 April 2024. Families are asked to submit enrolment applications by Friday 26 July 2024.
