We always do our best to accommodate as many children and their families as possible. For Prep-Year 6 we are accepting children where we are your closest school.
The Find My School website is a single source provided by DET to visually represent all school zones throughout Victoria and to make it easier to find your local neighbourhood school or other public school options.
The first step to enrolling your child at Brunswick South Primary School is to attend a school tour. Please make a time for a tour of our school with our Principal, Trevor Strolla or our Assistant Principal, Marg Weymouth. You can book a tour via https://www.trybooking.com/CFWTH.
