Transition Program

Choosing the right secondary school for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make, and we know it can feel overwhelming. That’s why we make the transition as smooth as possible.

Our comprehensive Transition Program is designed to support and welcome students from Grade 5 and 6, giving them the chance to get familiar with our school, our community, and everything we have to offer well before their first day of Year 7.

Enrolment at Year 7

All Victorian government secondary schools follow the statewide Year 6 to 7 placement timeline. The timeline outlines when and how families can enrol their child at a Victorian government secondary school.

Applications for Year 7 open from Monday, 20 April 2026.

Victorian government primary schools manage the Year 7 placement process for their Year 6 students in accordance with the timeline. At the start of Term 2, primary schools will distribute information packs to parents and carers.

What you need to do:

  • Download the Year 6 to 7 Placement Information pack from Moving from primary to secondary school (available from Monday, 20 April 2026). The pack includes guidance on the application process.
  • Submit an enrolment application by Friday, 8 May 2026.
    • 15 June 2026: Secondary schools notify primary schools of all students accepted into Year 7 (first, second and third preference rounds) for 2027.

If your child attends a government primary school, all communication about your child’s placement must be with the Year 6 Coordinator or Transition Coordinator at your child’s primary school until a placement is offered.

If your child is home-schooled or attends a non-government primary school, you may submit the application form directly to our school by Friday, 8 May 2026.

  • You will receive notification of your child’s Year 7 placement offer on Wednesday, 24 June 2026.
    • Parents and carers confirm acceptance of offer with their primary school on Tuesday, 11 August 2026:

Enrolment applications submitted after Friday, 8 May 2026, will be processed by our school as they are received, in accordance with the department’s Enrolment Policy. You can find more information about applying for Year 7 placement at Moving from primary to secondary school.
