Foundation Enrolments

Enrolments open on 24th April 2023 (Term 2) for the following year’s intake of Foundation (Prep) students. Families who want to enrol Foundation students should register their interest using our school tour form located here by the end of July 2023. Priority placements are offered to students who reside in the school zone. Our aim is to confirm placements September 2023. The school will contact each family individually to confirm their place.

School Zone

Every Victorian student has a legislated right to enrol at their designated neighbourhood school.

The school zone for Roxburgh Homestead Primary School is available here. Students who reside within the allocated school zone (based on their permanent residential address) are guaranteed a place at our school. Students who reside outside the allocated school zone will be considered based on the criteria set out by the Department of Education, this may result in the student being placed on the waiting list.

School zones for Victorian government schools are available at findmyschool.vic.gov.au
