enrol in one of our four programs

Our school offers four strengths based learning programs your child can enrol in.

Our school zone

Our school zone is available on findmyschool.vic.gov.au which hosts the most up-to-date information about Victorian school zones. Students residing in this zone are guaranteed a place at our school, which is determined on the basis of your permanent residential address.

The Department provides guidance through the Placement Policy to ensure that students have access to their designated neighbourhood school and the freedom to choose other schools, subject to facility limitations. You can find more information and answers to frequently asked questions on the Department’s website under School zones.

If you have a question about school zones call the VSBA Hotline on 1800 896 950 or email vsba@edumail.vic.gov.au.

Year 6 to Year 7 Enrolment

Transitioning: Independent Primary School

If transitioning from an Independent Primary School you will need to complete a DET form. This form will be available at the start of Term 2. The form must be returned directly to Rowville Secondary College via email.

COMPLETE DET PRIMARY SCHOOLS TRANSITION APPLICATION FORM

All four programs at Rowville Secondary College require you to complete the DET Primary Schools transition application form. We request that you submit this application form to your Primary school by the deadline given. We request that section 4 of the application form be completed with Rowville Secondary College as your first choice.

A simple guide: how to enrol your Year 6 child in a secondary school

The Department of Education and Training (DET) provides government schools with a timeline for the Transition to Year 7 enrolment process.

1. When your child is in Year 6, your Primary School will issue the Year 6 to Year 7 Transition Information Pack which will have an application form enclosed, late in Term 1 or at the start of Term 2 of the Grade 6 year.
2. Parents must complete this form, and then return it to your Primary School, by the due date.
3. Government Primary Schools will then forward all applications to the relevant Secondary School in accordance with the Department of Education and Training guidelines.
4. If transitioning from an Independent Primary School and your school does not provide the DET Year 6 to Year 7 Transition Placement Information pack 2022-2023 you can access this information here. Please complete the Application for Year 7 Placement 2023 form and return it directly to Rowville Secondary College for the attention of the Enrolment Officer either by post or email us by Friday 13 May 2022.
5. Wednesday 20 July families will receive notification from their Primary School advising what Secondary School your child has been offered a place in the following year i.e., your letter will only confirm Rowville Secondary College.
6. Thursday 21 July our school will email a welcome letter with relevant information for enrolling into the school for 2023.
7. Please be aware that if unsuccessful in your specialist application and we have received your DET Year 6 to Year 7 Transition Application form, we will offer a place within our General Excellence Program, Paratea Drive location, Western Campus. Please be aware that our programs are campus specific. We do offer an internal shuttle bus to take student to the west campus in the morning and after school should families reside closest to the Eastern Campus, Humphreys Way location. Through the DET placement policy you are applying to the school and not the specific program, as a school we currently do not have any enrolment restrictions.

Year 8-12 enrolment

Families wishing to apply for enrolments into Years 8-12, or during a school year at all levels, are invited to complete an expression of interest form.
