Suburbs in the zone
Share of the zone's G-NAF addresses in each suburb, and how much of each suburb the zone takes in. Zones follow proximity, not suburb boundaries, so most suburbs are only partly inside. Suburb names link to Delora's suburb profiles where one is published.
| Suburb | Addresses in zone | Share of zone | Share of suburb covered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bentleigh East | 1,936 | 60% | 13% |

Price context
The latest annual median sale price of each suburb the zone covers (Victorian Valuer-General, via data.vic). These are whole-suburb medians, not prices of homes inside the zone, and a zone rarely covers a whole suburb.
| Suburb | Share of zone | House median | Unit median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bentleigh East | 60% | $1,550,000 (2025) | $1,100,000 (2025) |
| Bentleigh | 28% | $1,742,500 (2025) | $777,500 (2025) |
| McKinnon | 12% | $1,875,000 (2025) | $877,500 (2025) |
Blended suburb medians across this zone (weighted by address share). This is not a median of sales inside the zone.
- House: $1,642,000 (2025; suburbs with a median hold 100% of the zone's addresses)
- Unit: $983,000 (2025; suburbs with a median hold 100% of the zone's addresses)
These figures describe suburbs, not the zone, and a zone can be redrawn after you buy. The Department says its zones shouldn't be relied on for property purchase decisions (Department of Education (Victoria), verified 22 Oct 2026).
Enrolment rules for this zone
- Living in the zone. A child whose permanent address is inside this zone has the right to a place at Valkstone Primary School for Prep, whatever the school's capacity (Department of Education (Victoria), verified 27 Sep 2026). The permanent address is where the child lives when you apply (Department of Education (Victoria), verified 27 Sep 2026), and the school can ask for evidence such as a lease or an exchanged contract of sale (Department of Education (Victoria), verified 27 Sep 2026).
- Living outside the zone. A place depends on space. When the school is full, out-of-zone applicants are ranked: siblings at the same permanent address first, then everyone else by how close they live to the school (Department of Education (Victoria), verified 27 Sep 2026).
- In two zones. An address inside two zones, or a property a zone boundary crosses, has the right to attend any of those local schools (Department of Education (Victoria), verified 27 Sep 2026). Near a boundary, check the exact address: streets marked part above are split by it.
Delora maps the Department's published boundary file; it isn't a zoning decision for any address. How zones are drawn, how often they change and which schools have no zone: how Victorian school zones work.
Frequently asked
What suburbs are in the Valkstone Primary School zone?
Addresses in 3 suburbs: Bentleigh East (60%), Bentleigh (28%), McKinnon (12%). Most are only partly inside, so check your exact address at Find my School.
Did the Valkstone Primary School zone change for 2027?
No. The 2027 zone is the same as the 2026 zone.

Can I enrol at Valkstone Primary School from outside the zone?

Compassionate-grounds applications are considered case by case.
