Welcome to GIPS

We warmly welcome you to our inclusive community. School tours ours are now available to visit our school and see learning in action. On these tours, you will see our calm, settled classrooms where every learner is guided to their highest potential.

Enrolments will open at the beginning of Term 2, in April 2026.

This year our school is using an online system for new enrolments to Victorian government schools called VicStudents.   VicStudents is available for students who are enrolling in a Victorian Government School for the first time. This includes Foundation (Prep) enrolments for 2027.

VicStudents has been assessed by the Department of Education to a high degree of security in line with the Victorian Protective Data Security Standards and is compliant with ISO 27001, the leading international standard for information security.

To commence online enrolment: Visit https://students.educationapps... to create an account and complete the online application form. Please ensure that all documents required are attached to the application. This process can commence at the end of April 2026.

A Quick Reference Guide to using the online system is available here.

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.
