Enrolments for the 2026 School Year

The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation (Prep) at a Victorian government primary school, including Talbot Primary School.

 

All government primary schools will follow the new timeline in 2025 to support Foundation (Prep) enrolments for the 2026 school year.
