If your child is in Grade 6 in 2025 and attends a Victorian government primary school, you will need to:

Refer to the Year 6 to 7 Placement Information Pack for Parents and Carers, which will be provided by your child's primary school from Tuesday 22 April 2025. The pack includes the Year 7 application form. If you have not received the pack, you can access a copy online:- Year 6 to 7 Placement Information Pack for Parents and Carers (DOCX, 1.5MB)- Year 6 to 7 Placement Information Pack for Parents and Carers (PDF, 7.17KB).
Use Find my School to locate your local secondary school or preferred government school, and read about School zones and Enrolling in school.
Complete the application form and return it to your child's primary school by Friday 9 May 2025.

Year 7 placement is decided by secondary schools using the Department of Education's Placement Policy. However, all communication about your child's placement must be with the Year 6 Coordinator or Transition Coordinator at your child's primary school until the placement is confirmed.

You will receive notification of your child's Year 7 placement offer on Tuesday 1 July 2025.

All government secondary schools will host a Year 7 Orientation Day (for Year 6 students) on Tuesday 9 December 2025.
