Enrolment
We are currently taking enrolments for 2023/2024. Please contact the school office if you are interested in a school tour.
Sending a child to a new school is a big deal in both their life and yours, so we would encourage you to come and experience firsthand everything Wonthaggi North Primary School has to offer.
The Department of Education (DE) has released a new statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline.
The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation (Prep) at a Victorian government primary school, including Wonthaggi North Primary School.
The new timeline will apply for children starting Foundation (Prep) in 2024. All government primary schools will follow the new timeline in 2023 to support Foundation (Prep) enrolments for the 2024 school year.
You can find information and resources about the new timeline, including factsheets, at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep). You can also download the ‘Foundation (Prep) Enrolment Information Pack for Parents/Carers for the 2024 school year’ from the Starting School webpage (available from 24 April 2023).
You will be able to apply to enrol your child in Foundation (Prep) 2024 at Wonthaggi North Primary School from 24 April 2023.

Uniform
We are very proud to be working in partnership with State Schools’ Relief as our uniform suppliers. You can purchase our uniform online through State Schools’ Relief. This wonderful organisation is a not for profit that supports disadvantaged students across Victoria. Purchasing from them means another child in Victoria who is experiencing hardship is able to get support with various items for school.
If you have any questions about uniform or you require assistance in accessing the online purchasing system please do not hesitate to contact us. Please find below links to the Sizing Chart, Uniform Pricing List, Purchase Returns Form and QKR Instructions.
