The Department of Education provides guidance on starting school to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and the freedom to choose other schools, subject to facility limitations.
Our school zone
Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information on school zones in Victoria.
Students residing within our school zone are guaranteed a place at our school. Your school zone is determined based on your permanent residential address.
Our school manages enrolments using the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their local school. Students may enrol at another school if there are available places.
For more information about our school zone, please contact our contact our school at (03) 5997 1444. For answers to frequently asked questions about school zones, visit School zones.
Our school has an enrolment restriction under section 2.2.16 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic).
Our school will prioritise enrolments from:
- students who live within the school zone
- students with a sibling attending the school at the same time
- students seeking enrolment on compassionate grounds, in exceptional circumstances.
Depending on available places remaining, our school may be able to accept a limited number of out-of-zone enrolments according to next closest to the school.
The department will review this enrolment restriction yearly and provide updated advice as necessary.
Year 7 enrolments
All Victorian government primary schools follow the statewide Year 6 to 7 placement timeline.
The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child at a Victorian government secondary school. Applications for Year 7 open at the start of Term 2.
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.
You can find more information about applying for Year 7 placement at Moving from primary to secondary school.
Other year level enrolments
We also accept enrolment applications for students in other year levels. You can submit a request at any time in the school year.
Eligible students who live within our school zone are guaranteed a place, while students outside the zone may be enrolled if there are available places.
If you are seeking enrolment at other year levels, please contact our school for more information.
All parent/guardians and future students who are eligible for enrolment are required to attend an enrolment interview with a member of the Principal Team. This interview outlines college expectations of enrolment and is an opportunity to express areas of concern, interest and achievement.
After this interview, eligible students will be issued enrolment forms to be completed and returned to the college.
To secure an enrolment Interview, please fill out the booking form below and attach all required documents. Once submitted our friendly administration staff will contact you to select an interview time that suits you and your schedule.
Thank you for choosing Koo Wee Rup Secondary College.
