Enrolment Requirements

Our school zone
Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information about Victorian school zones. Students residing in this zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address. The Department provides guidance through the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and the freedom to choose other schools, subject to facility limitations. You can find more information and answers to frequently asked questions on the Department’s website under School zones.

Enrolments are taken at any time at Rosedale Primary School. Download an Enrolment Form or contact us and we can email or post this to you.
We require you to provide on enrolment:

Proof of age - (Birth certificate or passport)
Immunisation Certificate available from the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR) Telephone - 1800 653 809 or your GP

Please note that it is a legal requirement to provide a school entry immunisation certificate on enrolment to primary school in Victoria. There are now two ways parents can obtain a school entry immunisation certificate:

Parents will automatically receive a history statement from the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR) after your child has completed the 4-year-old vaccine schedule
Parents whose child's immunisation records are incomplete, missing or your child has never been vaccinated can contact your local council immunisation service or your GP who will be able to assist you in obtaining a school entry immunisation certitificate.

For borrowing library books, Junior School students are required to have a library bag to be brought from home.

Healthy Eating

To encourage healthy eating each Thursday our whole school participates in a Nude Food Day. The grade with the most variety of fresh fruit and vegetables each term wins a plate of fruit to share. Please 'nude your food' on Thursdays. We have a Daily "fruit break" mid morning for all students. Children bring fresh fruit and vegetables from home and keep water bottles on their tables.

School Canteen

The school canteen is available on Fridays for lunch orders. We are proud that we have been awarded accreditation as a "Kids - Go For Your Life" school based on our healthy eating choices and physical activity program.
