The legal guardians of children who are due to start school will receive a letter with the forms required for school registration. These must be completed and returned to the City of Leoben.

Please choose one of the three options:

  • Upload the completed forms in the online form (in German).
  • Drop the completed forms in the red letterbox at Leoben Town Hall, Erzherzog Johann-Straße 2.
  • If your child attends a municipal kindergarten, you can hand in the completed forms there.

Leoben’s school districts were determined by means of a resolution of the Municipal Council, defining the catchment area of each primary school. The school district arrangement must be observed.

Applications for a change of the defined school district are permissible. The City of Leoben will send the required forms to the legal guardians by post.
