Enrolments & Transition ProgramsYear 6 to Year 7 TransitionThe Victorian Department of Education coordinates the Year 6 to Year 7 placement process for all government schools. Families will receive information and key dates each year, including the statewide placement timeline and application process. Our school follows the Department's guidelines to ensure a fair and consistent placement process. Families will be notified of placement outcomes in accordance with the published timeline, and student information is only shared with secondary schools once a placement offer has been accepted. We encourage parents and carers to carefully read the information provided each year and contact the school if they have any questions about the transition process. |
