Thank you for your interest in Gaayip-Yagila Primary School. Enrolments for 2024 year are now being taken.
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 based on 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. Due to pressure for enrolment and anticipated growth, only families within our school’s designated neighbourhood or those who have a current sibling will be offered enrolment through the enrolment process.
