Enrolment at Werribee Primary School
Werribee Primary School has strict enrolment procedures in place in response to our growing student population and our ability to accommodate students on a limited site.
Students are enrolled in the following priority order:
- Students for whom the school is the designated neighbourhood school.
- Students with a sibling at the same permanent address who are attending the school at the same time
Our school zone is available on which hosts the most up-to-date information on school zones in Victoria.
Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.
