Prep 2027 Enrolment Information
The Department of Education (DE) runs 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 Frankston Primary School.
The timeline applies for all children starting Foundation (Prep) in 2027. All government primary schools follow the timeline in support of Foundation (Prep) enrolments for the 2027 school year.
You can find information and resources about the new timeline, including factsheets, at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep). You can also download the ‘Foundation (Prep) Enrolment Information Pack for Parents/Carers for the 2027 school year’ from the Starting School webpage (available from 29 April 2026).
