Enrolment 2009

Year 7

 Many parents have already made enquiries about enrolling their son or daughter for Year 7 in 2009.  It is hoped that the following information will answer many of your questions. 
If further information is required, please contact Tracey Hope (Transition Coordinator) or Henri Mouratidis (Head of Junior School) on 9735-5644.

The process for enrolment in a State Secondary School is as follows:

• Parents and Guardians are given an 'Application for Enrolment' form by their child's primary school.  Choices for secondary schools can be listed in preference order.
• The local neighbourhood secondary school will be listed on this form.  The local neighbourhood secondary school is the one closest to your permanent residence, measured by the shortest road route.
• The preference form is returned to your child's primary school.
• The primary school then sends these forms to the relevant secondary school.
• The primary school will notify parents or guardians of the secondary school to be attended in 2009.
• In most cases the secondary school listed as your first preference will accept enrolment of your child.

Some secondary schools have education department permission to limit enrolments from outside of their neighbourhood zone once an agreed maximum enrolment has been reached.  This arrangement is often called a 'cap' on enrolment and is usually because the school has no physical capacity to expand.  If this is the case your second preference will be activated.  You will be informed when this occurs. 
Lilydale High School does not have a cap on enrolment.

In preparation for your decision, it is suggested that you make time to visit the secondary schools that interest you and attend their 'Information Evenings'.  These will occur from late April through to early May 2008.

The Lilydale High School Information Evening in 2008 will be held on Tuesday 29 April, at 7.30pm in the School Hall.  There will be presentations from Principal, Leon Bishop and Head of Junior School, Henri Mouritidis and information presented about the school.  There will also be tours of the school and presentations and displays of all the Key Learning Areas.

At Lilydale High School other tours are conducted during normal school hours according to demand, starting at 9.00am.  These can be arranged at any time.  Ring and book a tour on 9735-5644 or speak to the Transition Coordinators Tracey Hope and Jane Hemmings.  If we are teaching, you can leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
