School zones

Information about Victorian Government school zones are available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au.

Students residing in our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address and meeting the eligibility requirements of being currently funded under the Program for Students with a Disability (Intellectual Disability).

Information about entry criteria into our school is available in our Enrolment policy. The Enrolment policy contains a priority order of placement, giving priority to students who live within our Designated Transport Zones (DTZs). Where capacity allows, we are able to take a limited number of students from outside of our DTZ.
