Our School Zone
Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information on school zones in Victoria.
Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school. Your school zone is determined based on your permanent residential address.
Our school manages enrolments using the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their local school. Students may enrol at another school if there are available places.
For more information about our school zone, please contact our school. For answers to frequently asked questions about school zones, visit School Zones.
Foundation (Prep) enrolments
All Victorian government primary schools follow the statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline.
The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child at a Victorian government primary school.
For more information about the enrolment timeline, visit: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).
To enrol your child at Koondrook Primary School you will need to fill out an enrolment form and provide the school with important information about your child, including:
- evidence of your child’s date of birth (Birth Certificate)
- your contact, phone and address details, and that of any other parent, guardian and/or carer
- names and contact details of emergency contacts
- doctor’s names and phone numbers
- Immunisation Status Certification
- information about the language/s your child speaks and hears at home
- an asthma information card if needed
- bus travel eligibility form if needed
Children must turn 5 years of age by 30th April the year they begin Foundation (Prep) . It is vital that children are ready to commence school. Information on readiness is available from the school. Parents who are in doubt as to whether their child is ready for school, should seek advice from the school and kindergarten directors.
Foundation children do not attend school on Wednesdays in February. This enables them to settle into the school routine without becoming overtired.
Other year level enrolments
We also accept enrolment applications for students in other year levels. You can submit a request at any time in the school year.
Eligible students who live within our school zone are guaranteed a place, while students outside the zone may be enrolled if there are available places.
If you are seeking enrolment at other year levels, please contact our school for more information.
Transition to School Program
At the beginning of Term 3, we hold an Information Night for incoming families at the school. This night allows families to become informed about the school, the transition process and enrolment as well as ask questions. Families will be given an enrolment pack at this evening which includes all relevant information.
During Term 4, we run four 'Transition to School' days and then a final full day where all students step up to their new class and meet their teacher for the following year. The transition days allow children to prepare for a new environment, familiarise themselves with teaching staff, socialise with other children that will be in their classroom and gain knowledge of the expectations of attending school.
For more information, call the school. Dates for 2027 will be advertised on the website and the school's FaceBook Page closer to the time.
Visits from local Preschools
Throughout the year we have visits from the Koondrook and Barham Preschools. The Koondrook Preschool is on the same site as the school which allows students to visit the school library and have involvement in incursions.
