Enrolment Information

St Helena Secondary College has an ‘Enrolment Ceiling’, which means we are limited in the number of students we can accommodate each year. Families in our school zone must be prioritised.

The Department provides guidance through the School  Placement Policy 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 is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au.  Find my School  hosts the most up-to-date information about Victorian school zones.

Students residing in our zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.

The Department provides guidance through the School   Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and the freedom to choose other schools, subject to facility limitations. In line with the Department’s School Placement Policy, enrolment requests from families residing outside of our zone will be considered based on proximity (distance) from your permanent place of residence to our College (as the crow flies).

You can find more information and answers to frequently asked questions on the Department’s website under   School zones.

All Year 6 students are required to apply for Year 7 placement through their Primary School in accordance with the Department of Education and Training policy.

St Helena Secondary College is required to collect Proof of Residence information as part of this process to confirm whether your permanent place of residence is within our College zone, or the distance from your permanent place of residence to our school (as the crow flies) if you reside outside of our zone.

In line with the Department’s School Placement Policy, parents and students will be informed of their Secondary School placement by their Primary School.

For Year 7 applications after this date, follow the ‘All Other Enrolment Applications’ process.

Applicants are required to:

Download, complete and submit a Consideration for Enrolment Form.

Attend an interview with the relevant Mini School Principal

Provide a copy of their child’s most recent semester report

This process will ensure enrolment at SHSC is in the best interests of the applicant and that all necessary support is provided.
