Year 7 Enrolment
Application from a Government School
Parents/carers of students attending a Government primary school will receive the Year 6 – 7 Transition Information Pack from their primary school at the beginning of Term 2.
All families must complete the Application for Year 7 Placement form and submit it to their primary school as specified within the statewide timeline. Primary schools will submit all initial placement requests directly to secondary schools.
Please note, students transitioning from a Government primary school must enrol through their primary school and are not permitted to enrol directly with their preferred Government secondary school.
If you would like your child to attend Lilydale Heights College, it is important to list us as your first preference.
Application from a Non-Government School
Families of Year 6 students at non-government schools wanting to enrol at a Victorian government school may approach secondary schools directly if their child’s primary school is not supporting the statewide placement process. Non-government families must use the Application for Year 7 Placement available in the parent/carer information pack.
Families from non-government schools will need to complete the Application for Year 7 Placement form and email it directly to [email protected]
Please note, this form is only available for students transferring from a non-government school.
