If your child is preparing to enter Prep or Year Seven and you want to know more about the public primary and secondary school options in our area, try findmyschool.vic.gov.au today.If you have a question about the website, contact the Victorian School Building Authority Hotline on 1800 896 950 or email vsba@edumail.vic.gov.au.

Brown Hill is divided into four primary school zones. Depending on your residential address, your children may be zoned to Caledonian, Little Bendigo, Glen Park or Warrenheip Primary School.
