Bell Primary School welcomes enrolments from local families, with priority given to those living in the school’s Designated Neighbourhood Area (school zone). Currently, families living beyond our Designated Neighbourhood Area are invited to enrol as we have space available, although this is always dependent on student numbers in individual year levels. In accordance with the DET Placement Policy, in-zone enrolment applications for any year level are always guaranteed a place at Bell. You can check which government school you are zoned to here: https://www.findmyschool.vic.gov.au/

Please contact Jessie Storm (Enrolments Officer) at jessie.storm@education.vic.gov.au if you require further information about the enrolment process or to enquire on availability within a specific year level. Your enquiry may be directed onwards to David Twite (Principal) or Emma Heywood (Assistant Principal) if necessary.

School tour dates for prospective 2026 Prep (Foundation) families are now available to book via this link: https://compasstix.com/e/z58v226fdq 

A virtual school tour is available via this link. 

Victorian government schools will open for 2026 enrolments from Tuesday 22 April 2025, with the formal Prep enrolment period ending on Friday 25 July 2025, after which time families will be informed of the outcome of their child’s enrolment application. Prep enrolments can be submitted after this date but, for planning purposes, we kindly ask that they are submitted within the formal enrolment period possible. Beyond-zone enrolment applications submitted after July 25th will be assessed and responded to on a case-by-case basis. 

Enrolment forms are available on this website (hyperlink below) or from the school office and can be submitted with the required supporting documents to the school office in person or sent to bell.ps@education.vic.gov.au.

Please see the Curriculum, Wellbeing, Community and Communication tabs at the top of this website for further information on learning programs, extra-curricular activities, newsletters and other relevant parent/carer documentation.
