Enrolment

Longwood Primary School conducts regular tours throughout the year for prospective enrolments. If you would like to tour the school and meet the principal, please contact Travis Stefanos on 0413 494 953 to arrange a suitable time.

For incoming Foundation students, a series of sessions are held during Term 4 to help the children transition from kindergarten into primary school. For students enrolling in other year levels, we offer a transition day in December (statewide transition day) or we can easily arrange half or full transition days prior to enrolment start date. All children starting primary school must be five years of age by 30th April of the commencement year.
