Moving into Year 7 in 2025

Date

06 March-10 April

Time

All day

Location
Online

Visit Moving to high school for detailed information on the Expression of Interest process. There is also a short video of the process for moving in Year 7. Online link available from 6 March 2024 to 10 April 2024 To enrol your child in Year 7 for 2025, you will need to complete an Expression of Interest for Year 6 to Year 7 transition. The Expression of Interest (EOI) lets you indicate which school(s) you would like your child to attend in Year 7. The EOI process is available online from 6 March 2024. Please note: The EOI closes on 10 April 2024. Please make sure you submit the EOI before that date. IMPORTANT: if you miss this deadline, you will need to apply directly to your chosen High School. It is also important to note that the residential address you provide on the EOI is the same as the residential address we currently have on our system. After you submit an EOI and it has been assessed, your child will be offered a place at a high school. If you are unsure whether they will be attending a NSW Government school (you’ve applied for a private school, or you are moving interstate), we ask that you still complete an EOI Placement not required application and follow up with your school once a decision has been made. The online process will guide you through your options and collect the information required to make the process as smooth as possible. For parents/carers who are not able to complete an application online, a paper EOI form can be collected from the school office. For more information about moving to high school, visit Going to a public school.
