SCHOOL TOURS 2026
We invite community members to visit Ascot Vale Primary School (AVPS) in person, providing an opportunity to meet with our leadership team, interact with members of our school community (where possible), and explore our classrooms and facilities.
During the tour, visitors will receive information about our Unique Learning Community and the enrolment process from our tour guides, typically the Principal, Sue Osborne and/or Assistant Principal, Ben Kline.
These tours are designed to help families learn more about our school and get to know us better. They are particularly suited to parents and carers of children starting Year Prep/Foundation in 2027, although all prospective families are welcome to attend.
We look forward to welcoming you in person.
