Enrolling at our School
Before enrolling at our school it is important you take time to read our Parent Information Booklet that can be found below and then book a tour with Mr Weaver so that we can show you around our wonderful school.
It is important for you to see the school in action and feel comfortable that you understand all the programs that we can offer your child. When you are ready to enrol, follow the three steps below. Please take note of the Department of Education Enrolment Timeline below to ensure your child does not miss out.
Department of Education Enrolment Timeline
The Department of Education has a statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline.
The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation (Prep) at a Victorian government primary school, including Lilydale Primary School.
You can find information and resources about the enrolment timeline at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).
