Enrolment Form
To enrol you will need to complete an Enrolment Form. This is a confidential document that asks for personal information about your child as well as family members and others that provide care for your child. The main purpose for collecting this information is so that Rosanna Primary School can register your child and allocate staff and resources to provide for educational and support needs. It is recommended that you complete only one Enrolment Form for the school your child will attend. By completing the enrolment form , you are indicating your acceptance of a place for your child at the school. You may submit an application form for your child to more than one school. All staff at Rosanna Primary School and the Department of Education & Training are required by law to protect the information provided by this enrolment form.
Health information is asked for so that staff can properly care for your child. This includes information about any medical condition or disability your child may have, medication your child may rely on while at school, any known allergies, and contact details of your child’s doctor.
Rosanna Primary requires information about all parents, guardians or carers so that we can take account of family arrangements. Family Court Orders setting out any access restrictions and parenting plans should be made available to school. Please tell us as soon as possible about any changes to these arrangements. Please do not hesitate to contact the Principal, Jeff Jackson, if you would like to discuss (in strict confidence) any matters relating to family arrangements.

Immunisation Status
A School Entry Imunisation Certificate is a specific document which shows your child’s record of immunisation. The certificate is an important record that will assist health authorities in protecting children in the event of a vaccine preventable disease occurrence in school. Please note that it is a legal requirement to provide a school entry immunisation certificate on enrolment to primary school in Victoria.
We will require an imunisation certificate before you child begins school.
HIC have set up a website where you can obtain your child’s Immunisation History Statement. This facility has been provided to help parents keep track of their child’s vaccinations and to ensure their child is fully immunised. Parents may request a statement of their child’s immunisation history as recorded on the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (Immunisation Register) by completing the form on the website. The statement will be mailed to the child’s most recent address recorded on the Immunisation Register. You will need to enter your Medicare Card number.
