Enrolment Information.

Information for Prospective Families.

We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all students and their families considering joining the Eltham High School community in 2025 and beyond. Choosing the right school for your child is an important decision and we look forward to sharing this journey with you.

Families are welcome to visit the school and see it in action on one of our school tours. Tours will commence in Term 1, 2024 and generally run up until May each year.

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 based on 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.

Year 7 Enrolments.

Eligible children and young persons have the right to be admitted to their designated neighbourhood government school, regardless of capacity.
In circumstances where schools do not have sufficient accommodation to accept all students who apply from outside their school zone, schools must manage enrolment applications in accordance with the following priority order of placement:

Students with a sibling at the same permanent address who are attending the school at the same time
All other students in order of closeness of their home to the school.

In exceptional circumstances, a student may be enrolled in a school based on compassionate grounds. This is an overarching consideration and does not form part of the priority order of placement.

Further information can be obtained by contacting Melissa Hughes (Junior School Leader) on (03) 9430 5111 or by email to melissa.hughes@education.vic.gov.au.

Closeness to school.

Closeness to school is the distance measured in a straight line from the child’s permanent residential address to the school.

Distances from an address to the 5 nearest schools (as measured in a straight line) are available on the Find my School website. This website can be used when considering order of closeness to school.

Closeness to school is either assessed upon receipt of an enrolment application or as part of the Year 7 placement processes.

Timelines will be strictly observed for Year 7 placement applications. If an application for enrolment or Year 7 placement misses the deadline, it should be considered after applications received on time (if the student does not live in the school zone or does not have a sibling attending the school at the same time).
