Enrolments

Brighton Beach Primary School welcomes all enrolments whether you're a local resident or joining us from afar.  Renowned for our dedication to social consciousness and academic excellence, we prioritise placing all students at the centre of our instruction.

 

To enrol in Prep at Brighton Beach Primary School your child must turn 5 years old by April 30th in the year they begin school.  Schooling is compulsory for children who have turned 6 years old.

​

If your child is starting Foundation (Prep) in 2026, you will be able to apply to enrol your child in a Victorian government primary school from the start of Term 2, 2025 (Tuesday 22 April 2025).

​

Our school manages enrolments using the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and may enrol at another school, if there are available places.
