Enrolments

We accept enrolments at any Grade Level throughout the year.

Thank you for considering Gordon Primary School for your child's education. Our staff are dedicated to supporting the transition to school and we understand the importance of a smooth and positive experience for both students and families. We look forward to working in partnership with you to support and guide your child on a successful educational journey.

We invite prospective families to come in for a tour, meet our staff and students, and have a look at what we have to offer. Tours are available at any time by calling the school on 03 5368 9223. Information Packs are also available on request.

New students are encouraged to come and spend time at our school prior to starting so they can get to know other students. All new enrolments are given a buddy to support them in their transition.

What age does my child need to enrol?

Children are seen to be ready for school when they have reached the chronological age for entry as established by the state.

To start primary school in Victoria, children need to turn five years of age by 30 April of the year that they start school. Children must be at school in the year that they turn six years of age – this is the compulsory school starting age. Exceptions to this can be made.

School Zones

Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au (interactive map below) 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, which is determined based on your permanent residential address.

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.

For more information about our school zone, please contact our school. For answers to frequently asked questions about school zones and enrolling in Victorian government schools, visit School zones.
