Enrolment

All enrolment decisions are made accordance with the Department Placement Policy.

Students living within the school zone are guaranteed entry to their local school. Parents/carers can locate their local government secondary college by visiting www.findmyschool.vic.gov.au, which is the single source of truth for government schools.

The priority order of placement is:

students with a sibling at the same permanent address who is attending the school at the same time
all other students in order of closeness of their home to the school.

Students from outside the school zone will no longer be prioritised for enrolment based on curriculum grounds. Enrolment on compassionate grounds remains in the Placement Policy as an overarching consideration.

Guidance for Parents and Carers

Enrolment Constraints

The high retention rate at PHSC restricts our intake. Very few places become available after the initial intake of students from primary school.

Sibling and closeness grounds will only be considered after local permanent residency claims are evaluated.

Applications for transfer based on residential grounds from neighbouring schools may not be granted.
