Our College

Year 7 Enrolments

Enrolment for Year 7 is completed through the student's primary school when they are in Year 6. It cannot be completed earlier. During the first half of the Year 6, parents will be asked to nominate the secondary school your child wishes to attend the following year (Year 7).

Our College is a designated zone approved by the Department of Education and Training (DET). Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address. The student must be living with the parent or carer at the permanent address. A parent/carer is defined as one who has been legally appointed to take responsibility for the student making the application for enrolment.

Our School zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up to date information on school zones in Victoria

Enrolment offers are made according to the guidelines issued by DET. First priority is given to students who live permanently within the College zone. Further offers for enrolment to students living outside the zone (depending on vacancies) are decided in the following priority order:

• Students for whom the school is the designated neighbourhood government school
• Students with a sibling at the same permanent residence who are attending the school at the same time
• All of the students in order of closeness of their permanent residence to school
