Enrolments are now open for next year’s intake of Foundation (Prep) students. Families who want to enrol Foundation students should register their interest by calling our school office on 9305 1688. Our aim is to confirm placements by September 2024 and we will contact each family individually to confirm their place.
Every Victorian student has a legislated right to enrol at their designated neighbourhood school.
The school zone for Roxburgh Homestead Primary School is available here. Students who reside within the allocated school zone (based on their permanent residential address) are guaranteed a place at our school. Students who reside outside the allocated school zone will be considered based on the criteria set out by the Department of Education, this may result in the student being placed on the waiting list.
