Foundation Enrolment 2023
School Tours
To book a tour please contact the school on 03 9484 1076 or via email (link below) to arrange a discussion with our Principal where our school programs will be explained and questions can be answered. These conversations can be arranged for various times across the week or can be via Webex video conferencing (see instructions at bottom of this page).
Tours are conducted individually and the following times are generally available each week.
If these times are not suitable please let us know and we will do our best to find a time that suits you.
2022 Transition Program
Please note that our 2023 Foundation Transition program starts on August 4th and runs weekly for 6 weeks across Term 3 alternating between Thursday and Monday. Sessions run for 1 hour from 9.30am-10.30am and, as all students need to be enrolled to attend, parents do not need to stay with their child. Students are encouraged to attend as many sessions as possible. Sessions will also run weekly during Term 4 (October-November) and timing will be finalised as soon as possible. More detail on our Term 3-4 sessions will be emailed early in Term 3.
Please also spend some time exploring our school website where images of the school and explanations of school programs are available or you can download our information booklet below for more detail regarding the school and enrolment.
