The Department of Education has a statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline. We start accepting application forms for Prep 2025 on April 14th. These close on July 26th.

The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child into Foundation (Prep) at a Victorian government primary school, including Thornbury Primary School

You can find information and resources about the enrolment timeline at: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).

Uniform Options 

We support local and sustainable/ethical suppliers and cost effective choices for families. We have a variety of options for children with our uniform policy including department store blue t-shirts and back trousers. 

All student clothing at TPS must meet our Sunsmart and Student Wellbeing policies including closed toe shoes and covered shoulders. All students require a Sunsmart hat to play on high UV days.  We have a "No Hat, Shade Play" strategy which does restrict some areas of play without a hat. 

TOP 5 TIPS FOR UNIFORMS 

  1. Name and Class/Teacher Name on all clothing items especially hats
  2. Shoe recommendations are velcro and suitable for play and running outside
  3. Spares in the bag - accidents and mess happens (put in spare underpants, socks, trousers and a top)
  4. Lost Property is managed by the front office - often things turn up in a few days
  5. Consider weather options for Melbourne's 5 seasons in one day!

We use PSW Online to supply our TPS logo uniform. You can collect from the store in Kew or have them delivered to the school (or your home during the holidays for a small delivery fee).

Deadly Threads

We also provide school based uniform options including our Deadly Hoodie and NAIDOC T-shirt. These are available from our Uniform shop (at school).

Drop off and Pick Up Zone

TPS has a Drop off and Pick up Zone on Hutton Street at the front of the school.  Be aware of the two minute parking restrictions that apply; drivers are not to leave their vehicles. 

Ride to School

TPS has a locked bike shed where students' bikes and scooters can stay in for the day.
