Foundation (Prep) enrolments 2025
The Department of Education has a statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline.
The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation (Prep) at a Victorian government primary school, including Carlton North Primary School.
You can find information and resources about the enrolment timeline at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).
You can also visit the Victorian Government Starting School page on their website.

Our School Zone
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.
Enrolling at year levels other than Foundation
Students wishing to enrol in other year levels will need to be living at a permanent residential address where CNPS is the closest government school, although this may vary from year to year and between year levels. Please contact the office by email carlton.north.ps@education.vic.gov.au with your enquiry.
Enrolment of International students
At times, we do enrol international students. International students seeking to enrol in a Victorian Government school must apply to the International Education Division (IED). Details of the application process and application forms are available from the www.study.vic.gov.au website. Families can contact the IED for advice about the application process. The website provides information on the education system in Victoria, how to make an application, student visa requirements, tuition fees and other publications and useful websites.
