Enrolments are now open.
Enrolling with us is reasonably straightforward. As a government school we strive to accept every young person who wants to attend our school. We absolutely love the diversity that this approach brings to our student community.
Fitzroy Primary School is a school of choice within our community. Our Designated Neighbourhood Boundary indicates the area of which families may enrol their child. Whilst enrolments may be taken from outside the zone, there is no guaranteed place for students.
We recommend that you book in for a school tour in term one or two and enrol your child by mid year to secure a place in our Foundation transition sessions for parents and children. These typically take place in early November.
Enrolment Form
Copies of the following should be handed into the office or emailed to fitzroy.ps@education.vic.gov.au:
- The fully completed & signed ‘Form to Enrol in a Victorian Government School’.
- The child’s Birth Certificate.
- The child’s Immunisation Record
