Our Enrolment Process
Enrolments
To enrol at Hampton Primary School your child must turn 5 years old by April 30th in the year they begin school.
This year, the Department of Education (DE) has released a new 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 Hampton Primary School.
The new timeline will apply for children starting Foundation (Prep) in 2024. All government primary schools will follow the new timeline in 2023.
You can find information and resources about the new timeline, including factsheets, at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep). You can also download the ‘Foundation (Prep) Enrolment Information Pack for Parents/Carers for the 2024 school year’ from the Starting School webpage (available from 24 April 2023).
You will be able to apply to enrol your child in Foundation (Prep) 2024 at Hampton Primary School from 24 April 2023.
For more information about Hampton Primary School, please engage with this website and download the Parent Information Handbook.
