Enrolment Process
You will first need to confirm that you live inside our catchment zone and Torquay Coast Primary School is your closest school. This can be checked on the Find My School website. Please note that we are unable to take enrolments from outside of the school catchment zone.
Once you have established that you reside within our school zone, you will need to complete an Enrolment Application Form. You can download a copy below or collect one from our administration office.
Unfortunately due to student safety reasons we are unable to run individual tours for families. We have created an online virtual tour of the school for this reason. Please click HERE to view this virtual tour of our school.
A website has been created for families who are starting / transitioning to our school. This website contains a wealth of information regarding your child starting school; including student charges, purchasing uniform, future dates and the Prep transition timeline.
