Enrolment

At Yackandandah Primary School we invite families who are considering enrolling at the school to make contact with us and arrange a personal tour. Whether you are considering an enrolment at Foundation (Prep) or at any other level, we would like to show you around personally and answer any questions you may have.

 

 We run a number of transition days towards the end of the year for children joining us in Foundation (Prep) the following year. During these sessions children become familiar with the school, the teachers and other children. Each new Foundation student will have a senior buddy who will get to know them and be a familiar and friendly face. The senior buddies will be there during transition days and on the first day of school in 2025 - ready to ensure our new children are happy and comfortable. Please don't hesitate to call the principal, Michael Edwards, to ask any questions or arrange a tour.

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, 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.
