Find my School
Find My School has the most up-to-date information about Victorian school zones for 2020 onwards. Our school zone is available on the website. Students residing in this zone are guaranteed a place at our school. Students living outside the zone are able to enrol at the school if places are available.
The Department of Education and Training (DET) provides guidance through the School Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and the freedom to choose other schools, subject to facility limitations.
