Enrolment

We always look forward to welcoming new students and their families into our school community at Arthurs Creek. We are currently taking enrolments for 2025 and beyond.

We are proud of our small school and recognise the benefits that come from teachers knowing our students and families well. It is through ongoing, strong links between home and school that we are able to provide the best support for every student in all areas of their academic, social, emotional and physical life.

School Tours

Interested in enrolling? We encourage prospective families to book a tour of our beautiful school. Our principal, Andrew Lamers, will walk you through the school and chat to you about your child's needs. Tours can be arranged at any time by contacting our school office.

Transition to School Program
Prior to Foundation (Prep), new students will be invited to participate in our transition program held over several sessions in November and early December of each year. This gives our incoming students get a taste of school life, gives the teachers a chance to meet and get to know each student and to talk with families about the learning needs of their child.

2026 Foundation (Prep) Enrolments

The Department of Education has released an updated statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline for the 2026 school year.

The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation (Prep) at a Victorian government primary school, including Arthurs Creek Primary School. All government primary schools will follow the timeline in 2025 to support Foundation (Prep) enrolments for the 2026 school year.

You can find information and resources about the timeline, including factsheets and a poster at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep). You can also download the ‘Foundation (Prep) Enrolment Information Pack for Parents and Carers’ from Enrolling in Foundation (Prep)
