At Bayswater Primary School we realise that beginning school is a big step in your child's life.
Our aim is to provide our Prep students with an enjoyable and engaging Prep experience that will encourage them to develop a positive approach to all areas of school life.
While we maintain a strong focus on the academic areas of literacy and numeracy, we also realise the importance of providing opportunities for our students to develop socially and emotionally.
From early on in the year our Prep students are involved in activities that expand their social skills and therefore encourage a smooth transition from home life to school life. Prospective families will need to complete and return a Student Application Form. If you would like to visit and view our programs in action, we offer tours of our school at any time. Please call 9721 3755 to arrange a visit or see our Book a School Tour page.
The Department of Education has released an updated statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline for the 2025 school year.
The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation (Prep) at a Victorian government primary school, including Bayswater Primary School.
All government primary schools will follow the timeline in 2024 to support Foundation (Prep) enrolments for the 2025 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) (available from 15 April 2024).
You will be able to apply to enrol your child in Foundation (Prep) 2025 at Bayswater Primary School from 15 April 2024.
