Application For Year 7 Placement 2026

Placement offers for all students

Parents/carers receive notification of placement offers.  If there are more applications than positions, the Department of Education placement guidelines are used as follows:

Order for Priority Enrolments In circumstances where schools do not have sufficient accommodation to accept all students who apply from outside their school zone, schools must manage enrolment applications in accordance with the following priority order of placement:

    • Students with a sibling at the same permanent address who are attending the school at the same time
    • Students seeking enrolments into the French 1st Language Program, French Immersion Program or Japanese Immersion Program.
    • All other students in order of closeness of their home to the school.

In exceptional circumstances, a student may be enrolled in a school based on compassionate grounds. This is an overarching consideration and does not form part of the priority order of placement. Further information is available below under ‘Exceptional circumstances – compassionate grounds’.  Further information on Order of Priority
