Thanks for your interest in Essendon North Primary School!
Each year during Term 2, we really enjoy opening our school for all future Foundation parents to attend, so that you can see who we are, and what we do. We love what we do here at ENPS!
This year, our 2026 Open Day will be held on Thursday 30th April at 9am, 12pm & 2pm, and Friday 1st May at 9am. The sessions are identical, so please join a session time that suits you.
This session is for families with a child starting Foundation in 2027 (or later). If you're enrolling for any other year levels, please contact our office to book in a tour.
These sessions run for approximately 90 minutes, and they include a presentiation from our staff, a tour of the school with some of our Year 5 and Year 6 student leaders, the option to see and ask questions about our uniform, and the option to meet our Before and After School Care provider Teamkids.
You can now book at our Open Day 2026 Trybooking page: https://www.trybooking.com/DJXUQ
Please select a time that suits you, and please book enough free Adult or Children tickets for your family, so we have enough space for everyone on the day.
We recommend that you do not bring children with you to Open Day where possible, because the 30-40 min seated part of Open Day might be a bit long for them.
We do however completely understand that this might not always be possible, so you are welcome to bring your child(ren) if you wish. Please make sure you book a free child ticket for each child, so that we can make sure we have enough space for everyone.
You definitely can! These sessions are primarily for Foundation 2026 students specifically, but we don't mind if you're a bit early! We know that you might have a few schools to see.
Please feel free to register and come along.
If you're looking to potentially apply or enrol for Foundation 2027 or later, we'd highly recommend coming to our Open Day.
We provide lots of Foundation-specific information on the day, including information about their first day at school, what they might need to bring, and a lot more.
If you're looking to potentially apply or enrol for Year 1 to Year 6, we'd highly recommend you call us to book in a tour instead. We can tailor that tour to your specific needs.
We like your enthusiasm!
