2026 Foundation (Prep) enrolments

Online enrolment

This year, our school is using VicStudents, an online system for new enrolments in Victorian government schools.

VicStudents is available at select schools, for students who are enrolling in a Victorian government school for the first time. This includes Foundation (Prep) enrolments for 2026. 

VicStudents has been assessed by the Department of Education to a high degree of security in line with the Victorian Protective Data Security Standards and is compliant with ISO 27001, the leading international standard for information security. 

The Department of Education has released the statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline 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 Mount Evelyn Primary School.

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

You can find information and resources about the timeline, including factsheets and a poster at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).

You will be able to apply to enrol your child in Foundation (Prep) 2026 at Mount Evelyn Primary School from 22 April 2025.

  1. Contact our school to book a school tour from Monday 24th February 2025, or to learn more about our school and the enrolment application process.
  2. Submit an online enrolment application for Foundation (Prep) by Friday 25 July 2025. (open Tuesday 22 April) Please find the link to the Vic Students portal in the Digital Enrolment Parent Carer Guide
