ENROLMENT ◆ INTAKE AREA

STUDENTS INSIDE THE LOCAL INTAKE AREA

In the majority of instances enrolling your child is done through the primary school your child is currently attending within the district. Enrolment information is distributed to primary schools in Term 1 of each year. Parents are required to complete an application form and send it to Melville SHS for processing.

Students intending to enrol in Year 7 must submit this application by the last day of term 2 during Year 6. Late and incomplete enrolment applications may miss subject selection, parent evenings and transition day. Parents wishing to enrol students after the school term/year has commenced need to fill out an application for enrolment and then make an appointment with the school to discuss their circumstances.

Ring 6274 1300 to have an enrolment form sent in the mail, or drop into reception to fill out the paperwork. You will need:

  • Birth Certificate
  • Latest school report
  • Proof of address
  • Immunisation papers
  • Immigration papers and details if not a permanent resident
