Enrolment
We always look forward to welcoming new students and their families into our school community at Upper Plenty.
All government primary and secondary schools have a school zone. A school zone defines an area’s designated neighbourhood government school. Every Victorian student has a legislated right to enrol at their designated neighbourhood government school (local school).
Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information on school zones in Victoria.
Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined based on your permanent residential address.
Our school manages enrolments using the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and may enrol at another school, if there are available places.
For more information, you can:
- visit School zones for answers to frequently asked questions
- call the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA) on 1800 896 950

This year all Foundation applications will be completed online through the Victorian Student Portal. This is a brand new system for our region and schools are in the process of training on the system so we can help parents with the process at the beginning of term 2. The portal will be active from Monday 20th April, 2026. We will post a link on the website once it is active. If you wish to be informed on any school tours or information on the portal please email the school to be included on our mail out list.
