Tour our school

We warmly invite prospective families to tour Camberwell Primary School. School tours provide an excellent opportunity to see our facilities, observe our bilingual education in action, meet key staff members and ask any questions you may have.

Tours are typically led by our Principal or Assistant Principal and run during school hours.

Determine if you live in our school zone

Our school has an enrolment zone. To guarantee enrolment, your child's permanent residential address must be within this designated zone. You can check if your address is within our zone using the official Find my School website.

Out of zone enrolments

Thanks to the unique nature of the education Camberwell Primary School provides, we enjoy a high level of interest from families across Melbourne, interstate and from overseas. To support families seeking enrolment in a bilingual setting, we have a specific Placement Policy. Where Camberwell Primary School has sufficient accommodation to accept students from outside our school zone enrolment applications are managed in accordance with the following priority order of placement:

1. Students with a sibling at the same permanent address who are attending the school at the same time.
2. Students seeking enrolment into the French bilingual partial immersion program on language grounds.
3. All other students in order of closeness of their home to the school.
