Enrolment Enquiries

Thornbury High School has an enrolment restriction under section 2.2.16 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic).

The 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, the school may be able to accept a limited number of out-of-zone enrolments according to proximity to the school.

 

The Department of Education will review this enrolment restriction annually and provide updated advice, as necessary.

 

Students have the choice of enrolling in our mainstream program or applying for entry into our high achievers' program, Concept.

Find my School

 

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, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.  Our school manages enrolments using the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and may enrol at another school, if there are available places.

 

 

 

 

How to Apply

If you are seeking enrolment after the start of the academic year, please follow the year 8-12 Enrolment process below.

​

If your child attends Year 6 at a government primary school, your primary school will give you a Parent Transition Pack.  This pack contains information about the enrolment process and timeline and includes an Application for Year 7 Placement Form. This needs to be completed and returned to your primary school. On this form you will be asked to list three secondary schools in order of preference. Please consider the schools and where you list them on the form carefully as this may have an impact on where your child ultimately ends up being placed. 

​

Your primary school sends the completed form to your first preference high school. If unsuccessful, the form is then sent to the next school of preference and so on until your child is placed in a school. Your primary school will notify you regarding the school where your child has been placed. After this, the secondary school will make contact with you regarding your child’s enrolment.

 

If your child is in Year 6 and is home-schooled or attends a Catholic or independent primary school, you must submit your application directly to your preferred government secondary school.

If the current year 6 student is home-schooled or at a non-government school and Thornbury High School is the preferred secondary school - please complete the Application for Year 7 Placement 2027, pages 11 to 14, of the Year 6 to 7 Placement Information Pack for Parents and Carers and email it to enrolments@thornburyhs.vic.edu.au
