Enrolment

We are delighted to welcome you to our school community as your child embarks on their educational journey. Whether your child is starting in Prep or transferring to another year level, we are here to support you every step of the way.

Requesting an Enrolment Form
If you are interested in enrolling at our school, please request an Enrolment Form from our school office by emailing Katamatite.ps@education.vic.gov.au or calling 03 5865 1242.

Our school follows the Department of Education’s Enrolment Policy for the enrolment, placement, and transfer of students. Students who live within the school zone are guaranteed a place at our school. To find out whether you live in our zone, visit findmyschool.vic.gov.au.
All other applications will be considered subject to available space and prioritised according to the following criteria:

1. Students with a sibling at the same permanent address who are attending the school at the same time.

2. All other students in order of closeness of their home to the school.

Confirming Your Address for Application
As part of the application process, it is important to confirm your child’s permanent residence. Your child's address is where they permanently reside at the time of seeking enrolment. If your child lives at multiple addresses, their permanent residence is the address where they spend most of their weekdays.

To support our request, you may be asked to complete a 100-point residential address check. The documents provided should reflect the same parent/carer name and address as recorded on the application form. If you are unsure about what is required, please contact us or refer to the residential address check for guidance.

Please note that applications may not be successful if the required information is not provided or is found not to be genuine. If you are unable to provide proof of permanent address due to your individual circumstances, you can seek advice from our school or a Community Liaison Officer in the regional office.

Supporting Documentation for Enrolment
When enrolling your child in the Victorian government school system for the first time, you will need to complete an enrolment form. This form seeks personal and health information that should only be provided to the school your child will attend.

You will be required to provide the following information and documentation:

• Evidence of identity and date of birth (e.g., birth certificate or passport)

• Immunisation History Statement

• Your contact details

• Emergency contact details

• Health information about your child (such as allergies or illnesses they need to manage)

• Other legal orders relating to your child and their welfare

If your child is already enrolled at a Victorian Government school, their records can be transferred within the Department’s internal system. This ensures a smooth transition to Katamatite Primary School without requiring re-submission of the same documentation.

We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for both you and your child. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please feel free to contact our office. We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Katamatite Primary School.
