The mission of St Augustine’s Primary School is to provide a Catholic school education for Catholic families within our Parish.
General Enrolment Enquiry
You may choose to fill out an Enrolment Enquiry at any stage prior to applying. To do so, please click on the relevant tab on our homepage or on the adjacent menu. If enquiring about a future Prep enrolment this will put you into our database so that we can contact you when the enrolment process for your child’s enrolment year is commencing. This acts as a good reminder for you, especially if enquiring years ahead of time. Please note that placing an enquiry, does not put you on a preferential list for future enrolment.
If enquiring about other year levels, we will get in touch with you as soon as possible.
If you have an urgent query, please don’t hesitate to contact the office directly, on (03) 9336 4294.
Prep students
A child must be turning 5 on or before the 30th of April of the year of commencement, to be considered for Prep. The enrolment process for children going into Prep, begins when the child starts their four year old kindergarten year.
For students transferring from another school
Enrolments in other grades are accepted throughout the year based on availability. Applicants from other parishes are considered however priority is given to Catholic families living within or moving into the parish.
