Enrolments

The enrolment process at Cheltenham East Primary School is a very simple one.  An enrolment form must be filled in and signed.  The only documentation parents of children enrolling in a Victorian state school for the first time must produce is evidence of date of birth of the child concerned and their immunisation certificate, which is obtained from the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register.  Children who are not Australian Citizens are required to provide a copy of their current Visa.

Please note that children enrolling in the Foundation year must be at least 5 years of age by the 30th of April in the year in

which they enrol.
