Enrol now Year 7 2021
Virtual Open Night -
7pm Tuesday 12th May 2020
Good partnerships between parents and carers, students and schools are vital to students succeeding and thriving at school. For Greater Shepparton Secondary College, this begins with the transition from primary school to secondary school.
Parents in Greater Shepparton are now receiving Transition Packs from their Year 6 son or daughter's primary school. This is to assist them in placement in Year 7 for the 2021 school year. Applications for placement close May 29th 2020. The current covid-19 situation means that we haven’t been able to schedule on-site Information Sessions and visits to McGuire Campus, where our Year 7 students normally attend school. However we will be hosting a series of virtual open nights with the first one scheduled for 7pm on Tuesday 12th May.
Executive Principal Genevieve Simson, Campus Principal John Sciacca and our Transition Team will be online to talk about our Year 7 offering and answer your questions in real time. Please join us on “Teams” at https://live.gssc.vic.edu.au
You can find out more about our Year 7 program via our Welcome Transition Letter from Ms Simson and Mr Sciacca:

We also encourage parents, carers and prospective students to "meet" Mr Sciacca via the short informational video displayed on the Home Page of our website or go to our Facebook page
