ENROLMENT AT WESTGROVE

Under the Education and Training Reform Act 2006, schooling is compulsory for students aged between 6 and 17 years unless an exemption from attendance has been granted. For children commencing Prep, they must be 5 years of age by April 30th of the year they are in Prep.

​

Our School Zone

As per DE guidelines, Westgrove will accept enrolments for students who reside in our school zone. Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information on school zones in Victoria.

​

Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.

​

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.
