Enrolment: Outside Zone - Prep


Parents/Carers of students, whose permanent address lies outside our school zone, as per the Find My School website, are invited to submit an expression of interest for enrolment in our Prep grade, in line with the Department of Education's Placement Policy. Please note the following:

  • Places will be offered first to students living within our school zone and siblings of students already enrolled at our school (early August). We will then offer any remaining places to students living outside our school zone according to the straight-line distance from their permanent address to our school. This information can be found on the Find My School website
  • Parents/Carers are invited to book a tour with a member of the team by clicking here. 
  • The application form for enrolment is now available. Please contact the school office if you would like a copy (seaford.park.ps@education.vic.gov.au) and return it by email by 5pm on Friday, July 25th. 
  • Enrolments close on Friday, July 25th, 2025 (no out-of-zone application forms will be accepted after this date). Parents/Carers who have submitted an application to enrol their child at Seaford Park Primary School will be contacted in early August.
    • Where a place is available, parents/carers will be invited to complete the full enrolment process. There is a strict 2 week deadline for this process to be completed; if the necessary paperwork is not submitted within that time, the invitation to enrol will be withdrawn and offered to the next student on the list. In preparation for enrolment, parents/carers are advised to start collecting the following documentation as soon as possible:
      • Birth certificate
      • Immunisation certificate downloaded from the MyGov website
      • Medical/health plans (e.g. Asthma, Anaphylaxis, etc.), where relevant
      • Any additional reports or information on your child that will help to ensure a smooth transition to Seaford Park Primary School
    • Where a place is not available, parents/carers will be advised of their neighbourhood (zoned) school. All students are guaranteed a place at their neighbourhood school and enrolment forms can be submitted at any stage. Your neighbourhood school can be found on the Find My School website
  • Transition sessions will be held for all incoming Prep students in November. They are usually held from 2:30 until 3:15pm one afternoon per week and parents are invited to attend school-run information sessions at those times. The exact dates will be communicated in September.

In preparation for your child's transition, there are a number of tasks that must be completed by parents/carers:

  1. Attend a school tour: This is a recommended, but optional, first step in the process.  School tours are regularly held and if you are interested in attending a school tour, please complete this form and a member of the team will be in touch.
  2. Submit the necessary paperwork: There are a number of required documents that must be submitted before any child can be enrolled at Seaford Park Primary School. Parents and carers are invited to email these documents to the school office or post/deliver hard copies anytime before 5pm on Friday, July 25th, 2024. 
    1. Completed Enrolment Form - forms will be released at the beginning of Term 2 (Monday, April 15th, 2024). No enrolment forms can be accepted by the school before that date. 
    2. Birth certificate
    3. Immunisation certificate downloaded from the MyGov website
    4. Medical/health plans (e.g. Asthma, Anaphylaxis, etc.), where relevant
    5. Any additional reports or information on your child that will help to ensure a smooth transition to Seaford Park Primary School
  3. Complete the Acceptance Form sent by email: The official offer of a place at Seaford Park Primary School will be emailed to you early in August, 2025 and you will be asked to respond within 2 weeks.  This action includes registering your child with TeamKids, our Outside School Hours Care provider.
