From 2023, the NSW Department of Education will be moving to an online enrolment process for Year 7 2024 enrolments.
This new enrolment website will go live on Monday 6 March. However, parents may still use the current expression of interest form. These are obtained from your child's current public primary school or by following the links here.
High school enrolment includes the expression of interest (EOI) form called Moving into Year 7 in a NSW government school (PDF 815KB) .
Non-government school students can print this form to complete and hand to their local government high school for consideration.
If you are currently in Years 7 to 12
Please read the information below, then complete the school's enrolment enquiry form before contacting the school. A staff member will contact you to discuss your enquiry.
