If you are transitioning from another school

Transferring from one primary school to another is a big step for most children. They are leaving behind the security of the familiar surroundings of their current primary school and entering a whole new environment.

When a student transfers from one government primary school to another within Victoria, the outgoing school sends the new school an electronic data transfer. The transfer includes information about the student – their name, address, emergency contact details, any medical conditions and their academic records.

Whether your child is changing schools within Victoria, from another state or from overseas, it is useful for the new primary school to see school reports and examples of your child’s work from their previous school. This will assist the new primary school to do all they can to make the transition as smooth as possible for your child.


As a parent, you can help your child’s transition into a new school by:

• involving your child as much as possible when you are choosing the new school
• asking them how they feel about the new school
• showing them around the school before their first day
• meeting their new teacher/s.
• giving the new school past reports and examples of work from your child’s previous school
• preparing them for school by talking about their first day
• staying connected with important friends from their previous school
• talking to them about the new school they will be attending
• finding opportunities to meet parents and children from the new school.

As always, we are more than happy to answer any questions or provide any further information should you require it. We look forward to sharing this exciting journey with you and your child.

See our school zone online

The Department of Education has released a website that will tell you to which local school you are zoned. Findmyschool.vic.gov.au launched this year and shows every school zone across the state. The new website highlights the choice of public schools available to the Victorian community.
