How to Enrol
Enrolling your child at Ripponlea Primary School is the beginning of an exciting educational journey for your child and your family.
We aim to support your child’s enrolment with transition programs, either from Kindergarten to Foundation, or from another school to Ripponlea Primary School. This is managed through a formal Kinder to Foundation transition program and if transferring from another school, flexible arrangements to meet your child’s needs.
If you are considering our school for your child/children’s education, please join us for a school tour. You are most welcome to bring them along.

Foundation (Prep) Enrolments 2025
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 Ripponlea Primary School.
The new timeline will apply for children starting Foundation (Prep) in 2025. All government primary schools will follow the new timeline in 2024 to support Foundation (Prep) enrolments for the 2025 school year.
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 2025 school year’ from the Starting School webpage (available from 15 April 2024).
You can apply to enrol your child in Foundation (Prep) 2025 at Ripponlea Primary School from 15 April 2024.

Enrolment applications submitted after 23 August 2024 will be processed by our school as they are received, in accordance with the department’s Placement Policy.
We have a comprehensive ‘Stepping-Up’ orientation program designed specifically to help all Foundation students settle into Ripponlea. This program gives children a chance to become familiar with the school environment, and for parents to meet each other and learn more about the school.
