Roxburgh Park Schools Open Foundation Enrolment: Deadline Approaching for Parents

Families in Roxburgh Park have a narrow window to secure Foundation places for the 2026 school year at Roxburgh Park Primary School. Applications open on 22 April 2025 and close on 25 July 2025, with children required to turn five by 30 April 2026.

Foundation Enrolment Timeline

The enrolment period directly determines access to the first year of primary schooling. Applications submitted after the 25 July 2025 closing date fall outside the standard process, leaving families to navigate late-entry options if spaces remain. This timeline aligns with the school’s preparation for the full 2026 intake.

Kindergarten and Early Years Expansion

Roxburgh Park Primary School Kindergarten opened in Term 1 2024 as a four-classroom facility offering 132 licensed places. The centre runs free 15-hour weekly programs for three- and four-year-olds under the management of Northern Schools Early Years Cluster. Good Samaritan, Roxburgh Park Catholic Primary School established MACS Early Years Education (MACSEYE) in 2024 to deliver Outside School Hours Care alongside early childhood education, with services planned to reach more than 100 schools by the end of 2025.

Secondary School Context and Canteen Reopening

Roxburgh College, serving Years 7 to 12, recorded 1,041 students in 2025 with a student-to-teacher ratio of 9:1. At Roxburgh Park Primary School the canteen is scheduled to reopen at the start of Term 3 2025, restoring an on-site service for students and staff.

These developments give families concrete dates to track. The enrolment closing date of 25 July 2025 requires prompt action, while the Term 3 2025 canteen reopening and ongoing early years program growth provide additional support structures. Families should check the listed school websites and contact the Northern Schools Early Years Cluster or individual school offices for application forms and program details before the deadlines pass.
