Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information on school zones in Victoria.

Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.

Our school manages enrolments using the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and may enrol at another school, if there are available places.

For more information, you can:

• visit School zones for answers to frequently asked questions
• call the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA) on 1800 896 950
• email the VSBA at vsba@education.vic.gov.au

Following a fire at our school in early 2020 and the rebuilding of several buildings through 2020 and 2021, we are proud to have moved home to Bamfield Street and officially opened our new-look school in 2022, where students are enjoying Bayside’s newest school facilities.

Combining the history of our beloved school with purpose-built, state of the art classrooms and teaching areas is exciting for our entire school community and a real opportunity for future students.
