Thornbury High School
Enrolment at Year 7
Enrolment Enquiries
The school currently has a ceiling on enrolments with a maximum of 225 students at Year 7. Entry is automatic if Thornbury High is the closest school or you have another sibling already at the school in the year of the new enrolment. Students have the choice of enrolling into our mainstream program or applying for our high achievers’ program, Concept.
How to Apply
If you are seeking enrolment after the start of the academic year, please follow the year 8-12 Enrolment process below.
If your child attends Year 6 at a government primary school, your primary school will give you a Parent Transition Pack. This pack contains information about the enrolment process and timeline and includes an Application for Year 7 Placement Form. This needs to be completed and returned to your primary school. On this form you will be asked to list three secondary schools in order of preference. Please consider the schools and where you list them on the form carefully as this may have an impact on where your child ultimately ends up being placed.
Your primary school sends the completed form to your first preference high school. If unsuccessful, the form is then sent to the next school of preference and so on until your child is placed in a school. Your primary school will notify you regarding the school where your child has been placed. After this, the secondary school will make contact with you regarding your child’s enrolment.
If your child attends Year 6 at a Catholic or independent primary school, you must apply for enrolment directly through Thornbury High School. Apply via the Application for enrolment - Students from non-Government primary schools.
