Welcome to Cranbourne Park Primary School.
Below are the details to start the process for a new enrolment:
Closing date for applications is Friday 25th July 2025.
Parents/guardians will be asked to provide required documentation to support the enrolment (immunisation certificate from Medicare, birth certificate or passport and proof of address) and dates for interviews will then be arranged.
We expect all students to attend all sessions (initial interview/transition/assessment).
All prep students must complete the Early Years Evaluantion assessment (Term 4, 2025) for enrolment. This will provide us with necessary information on your child’s early development to enable us to plan accordingly.

Regards,
Ross Carlson Principal
