Enrolment Process
School zoning and enrolment government requirements.
Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information on school zones in Victoria.
Ashby Primary School follows the Department’s Placement Policy and timeline.
A child’s ‘Designated neighbourhood School’ (DNS) is the school nearest the student’s permanent address.
Eligible children and young persons have the right to be admitted to their DNS.
Students are able to apply for a place at a school that is not their DNS.
All students that seek enrolment outside of their DNS should be enrolled in that school, if there is sufficient capacity.
Where there are insufficient places at a school for all student that seek entry, students are enrolled according to the Placement Policy’s priority order of placement (see below).
In exceptional circumstances, a student may be enrolled in a school based on compassionate grounds.
Priority Order of Placement
In circumstances when a school may not be able to accept all applications due to capacity concerns, schools must manage enrolment applications with the following priority order of placement. All applicants eligible under a criterion must be offered a place before moving on to consideration of the next.

Enrolment applications may not be successful if the requested documentation is not provided.
Schools are permitted to make reasonable enquiries to verify permanent address information provided by parents/carers.
