Things to do

  • If you are new to the City of Boroondara and looking at Primary School options, the Victorian Government will provide you with all the information you need to help enrol your child. 
  • School is a big transition for your child. Visit Raising Children Network to understand school and learning. 
  • Look into before and after school care options if you require it.  
  • Enrol in one of the many children’s programs at one of our local leisure centres.
  • As your child gets older, you will start looking in to Secondary School options. Gather information about schools, visit open days and talk to key staff. The transition from primary to secondary school is an important time in children’s education. Read the Victorian Government's page on moving from primary to secondary school.
