Birth Certificate
A Birth Certificate must be sighted and photocopied by the school. The copy of the Birth Certificate will be filed along with the immunisation certificate in the Student Enrolment form.
Immunisation Certificate
The Immunisation Certificate is obtained from the health department of your local council. As parents or guardians, you should give this Certificate to the primary school when you enrol your child in prep.
The Immunisation Certificate will indicate to the school whether your child has or has not been immunised against diphtheria, polio, tetanus, measles and mumps.
This does not mean that your child has to be immunised. If your child cannot be immunised due to medical or conscientious reasons, the Certificate will show that your child is not fully immunised. Health Department Victoria recommends that all children are immunised against these diseases before they enter school. Children who are not immunised will be excluded from school if there is an outbreak of measles, diphtheria or polio. This will reduce the chance of these diseases spreading throughout the community.
For more information about enrolling your child at Lilydale West Primary School , or to organise a tour, please contact us.
