Documentation required for Foundation enrolment (2027)

When enrolling your child in Foundation for 2027, the Victorian Department of Education (DET) requires families to provide the following documentation as part of the enrolment process:

  • Proof of age
    A copy of your child’s birth certificate, passport, or an extract of a birth entry. Children must turn five years of age by 30 April in the year they start school.
  • Immunisation status certificate
    An Immunisation History Statement from the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR). This document must show that your child is up to date, on a catch-up schedule, or unable to be fully immunised. A GP or council letter is not accepted in place of the AIR statement.
  • Proof of residential address
    Documents that confirm your child’s permanent residential address (e.g. lease agreement, rates notice, utility bills), in line with DET’s 100-point address check requirements. This information is used to confirm eligibility for enrolment.
  • Visa documentation (if applicable)
    For children who are not Australian citizens, a copy of the child’s visa may be required to confirm enrolment eligibility.

All documentation must be provided before an enrolment can be finalised. The school may request original documents or certified copies as part of the verification process.

Other year level enrolments

We also accept enrolment applications for students in other year levels. You can submit a request at any time in the school year.

Eligible students who live within our school zone are guaranteed a place, while students outside the zone may be enrolled if there are available places.

If you are seeking enrolment at any other year levels, please contact our school for more information.

Enrolment documentation can be returned in person or emailed to merri.creek.ps@education.vic.gov.au
