Each year, the Department releases Year 6 to 7 placement information for schools and parents/carers. Information packs are available by the beginning of Term 2 for students commencing Year 7 the following year. From the first week of Term 2, we will distribute the parent/carer placement information pack to all Year 6 families. The pack will include the Application for Year 7 Placement form.
The timeline for 2024/2025 is outlined below:
Primary schools send all initial placement requests (first preferences) to each relevant secondary school.
Secondary schools notify primary schools of the names of all students (first, second and third preference rounds) accepted into Year 7 for 2025.
Primary schools inform parents/carers of their child’s Year 7 placement offer for the 2025 school year.
Closing date for parents/carers to lodge a written appeal with their preferred secondary school.
Parents/carers return their Year 7 Placement Acceptance Slip to their child’s primary school.
Secondary schools host an Orientation Day for Year 6 students.
