At Poowong Consolidated School our enrolment process includes a tour of the school, meeting with the principal to discuss your child’s needs and the official enrolment forms for you to fill out. Along with the enrolment form, we need to take copies of your child’s birth certificate or passport and their immunisation certificate. Enrolments are available in Term 1 and Term 3, or as negotiated if you are moving to the local area.
Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information about Victorian school zones.
Students residing in our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address. Our school also has additional capacity available to welcome students who are outside of our school zone.
The Department provides guidance through the Enrolment: Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and the freedom to choose other schools, subject to facility limitations.
You can find more information and answers to frequently asked questions on the Department’s website under School zones.
In Term 4 each year, we offer a “Stepping Stones” Kinder to Prep Transition Program. These sessions start with a tour of the school with the Poowong kindergarten; however, others are always welcome to join us on this day. We run 6 hour-long sessions throughout term 4 to allow children to acclimatise to the school and to build relationships with their peers and teacher. We also run a whole day session in December each year on the State-wide Transition Day (usually the second Tuesday in December).
If you would like to enrol your child at Poowong Consolidated School, we would love to hear from you!
